#2: Rahul Sharad Dravid - 7690 runs
The main pillar of the Indian batting line-up, Dravid was arguably the last classical test batsman to ever play the game. Known as 'The Wall', Dravid binded the batting line-up, while the flair players expressed themselves around him.
Acknowledged for his resolute defence and sheer hard work, Dravid was only the second Indian to cross 10000 runs in both tests and ODIs. For someone stereotyped as extremely one dimensional, Dravid had the ability to stroke the ball all around the park when he felt like it.
