We miss u "WALL"

  

                                   

                                   If one ever needed someone to personify understated elegance, Rahul Dravid would be the perfect fit.  

Well known he is the wall of indian cricket team.

But now he was going to be retired for one day internationals.....

 One day Record :

Matches	344
Innings	318
Runs	10889
Avg	39.16
50’s/100’s	83/12
Catchtes/ Stumps/Wikets	196/14/4

Achivements:

-->He is now the 2nd highest run scorer in Test cricket, crossing Ricky Ponting

-->He now has 35 test centuries on his name

-->He is the highest scorer in the world in the 4th innings surpassing Brian Lara

-->First cricketer to take 200 catches

-->Third test player to score 12000+ runs

-->He has been a part of 85 century partnerships (world record)


-->Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar hold the record of highest 100 run partnerships (19) leaving Ponting and Hayden behind (16)


He has been a giant of Indian cricket one of the three best batsmen produced by India alongside Tendulkar and Gavaskar but has somehow never got the adulation he so richly deserves. His greatest contribution to India has been his performance in away-series, where he has been the principal architect of several Indian wins.
He made his ODI and Test debuts in 1996, but while he struggled in ODIs initially, he scored a flawless 95 on Test debut an innings that was eclipsed by a century from fellow debutant Sourav Ganguly.

He is among only 5 men with Tendulkar, Ponting, Lara and Kallis being the others to have scored more than 10,000 runs in both ODIs and Test matches.
