#5 Rahul Dravid (c)
Rahul Dravid was one of the classiest batsmen of his time. Although he was initially discredited due to his poor strike rate, Dravid eventually proved himself and went on to become one of India's best batsmen of all time.
'The Wall' scored 13288 runs in 164 Tests at an average of 52.31, 10889 runs in 344 ODIs at an average of 39.17. He became an integral part of the team and he was always there whenever the Men in Blue needed someone to steady the ship.
Dravid possessed a brilliant game sense and was an astute leader. Besides being India's overseas batting consultant, Dravid is currently at the helm of things in his coaching career. A humble personality, Dravid is currently in charge of India's Uner-19 team as well as India A.
The veteran player also works with the GoSports Foundation, with whom he has collaborated to begin a mentorship programme for budding Olympians and Paralympians.
