6 lucky cricketers who got their break when others missed out due to Injuries

#1 Rahul Dravid

Rahul Dravid

The ankle injury to Sanjay Manjrekar ahead of the second Test against England in 1996 at Lords, paved the way for Rahul Dravid's debut. Batting at number 7, Dravid went on to score 95 on his debut. Dravid was India's 3rd highest run-getter in that series with 187 runs in 3 innings.

After mesmerizing one and all in his debut series, Dravid went on to become the most dependable batsman for India in both ODIs and Tests for 16 years. With more than 24000 runs and 48 tons in international cricket, Dravid without a doubt is one of the greatest players to have ever graced the gentlemen's game.
