Rahul Dravid : The Wall

When Rahul Dravid was given the title called "The Wall", critics and fans never really disagreed with it. They knew that here was a man, who had loads of concentration, single minded dedication and more importantly the hunger to bat for life. Rahul Dravid enjoyed occupying the crease for long periods of time.

A testimony of this feat, is the 88 hundred-plus partnerships which he holds in Test cricket with different batting partners. He also holds the record for scoring 6980 partnership runs with Sachin Tendulkar alone.

However Rahul Dravid has also faced 31258 deliveries in Test match cricket. He has played 164 Test matches and batted in 286 innings, if we equate he faced an average of 109 deliveries every innings.

If we summarize Rahul's career, in every innings on an average he scored 52.3 runs and faced 109 deliveries. What more can we expect from a number 3!
