5 Records of Rahul Dravid that are almost unbreakable

#4 10000 runs batting at #3

Rahul Dravid is probably the greatest #3 batsmen ever to have walked the earth after Sir Don Bradman. In the same generation as that of Rahul, many legends too played at #3 positions like Ricky Ponting who despite being a part of the legendary team couldn't leave Dravid behind.

Dravid scored 10,524 runs from 219 innings at an avg. of 52.88 with 28 hundred and 50 fifties. In total, he scored 13288 runs at an astonishing average of 52.88. He scored 36 test centuries of highest qualities.


#3 Most no of catches in Test history.

"Catches win you matches", ever heard this phrase? Well, if you haven't then you don't know your cricket. For everything that goes behind making batsmen play that one foul shot it is of utmost necessity that the chance shouldn't go down. Rahul Dravid is the greatest slip fielder that the game has ever seen. Well, if you don't agree then go and watch his 200th catch in test cricket.

Rahul's big hands were always there whenever spinners came onto to bowl especially in subcontinent conditions. He took a total of 210 catches in test cricket and it seems almost impossible for modern day players to even think if reaching the halfway stage.

The recently ended India's three away test series showed us how much India miss Rahul Dravid's service in the slip cordon.
