Indian team when Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid made their Test debut - Where are they now?

#7 Rahul Dravid

Dravid was 5 short of a century on his debut

A man who has been popularly nicknamed ‘The Wall’ hit a solid 95 in his debut test innings, 5 runs short of a maiden test hundred batting at number 7. Dravid made the number 3 position his own over the course of his career, and made it the coveted position it is now.

In the era of Tendulkar at his prime, he managed to hold his own and that speaks volumes of the character of the man. He retired from the game in 2012, after 16 years on the international circuit, having faced the most number of balls (31,258) and taken the most number of catches (210) in test cricket history. He has captained India on many occasions and donned the wicketkeeper’s gloves quite a few times as well.

He is currently the coach of the junior cricket team, with successful stints as coach of the A team and U-10 team. The U-19 team he coached went on the reach the finals of the World Cup. He was apparently offered the position of Head coach of the national team, which he declined in favour of coaching the upcoming generation of Indian cricketers. He has also worn the commentator’s cap and is also currently chief mentor of the Delhi Daredevils outfit.
