5 legends who made their Test debut at Lord's

#1 Rahul Dravid

Dravid's technique was perfect for Tests

Rahul Dravid - one of the greatest Test batsmen of all time - made his debut at Lord's in 1996 along with Sourav Ganguly.

Coming into the team on the back of tons of runs in the domestic circuit, Dravid was determined to succeed. That was evident in his debut match, as he saved the Indian innings after a flurry of wickets - something that he would keep doing throughout his career.

Dravid's perfect stance and straight bat for every ball showed the world that he had the technique to do well in international cricket. But it was the grit that he displayed to stay at the crease and build an innings perfectly, like the alignment of bricks in a wall, that brought him worldwide fame.

Dravid ended with 95 in his debut match, batting beautifully with the tail to add 133 for the last four wickets.

Dravid played many gritty knocks which are regarded among the greatest in Test history. His 180* in Kolkata 2001 and 233 in Adelaide 2003 helped script historic Test victories after conceding the lead.

Dravid will not only be on the honours board of Lord's, but also in every book of Test cricket history.
