#2 Middle-order: Rahul Dravid & Sachin Tendulkar
After Sehwag and Chopra, the baton was passed on to Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar. Dravid was perhaps India's best performer in the series. With 619 runs in four matches, Dravid was the highest run-scorer for India and second overall to only Ricky Ponting. After retirement, Dravid has worked as a mentor for IPL franchises Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils. Currently, he is the coach of India A and Indian U19 teams.
India's reliable number four in the series, Tendulkar scored 383 runs in the series at a staggering average of 76. Like Sehwag, he scored one century and a fifty. Post-retirement, the legendary cricketer works as a mentor-cum-icon of the successful IPL team Mumbai Indians. He also was the co-owner of Indian Super League team Kerala Blasters until this year. Besides these, his name came up in many good causes.
