Rahul Dravid, former captain of Team India, was known as 'Wall' and 'Mr. Trustworthy' on his batting. Dravid turns 47 today. He was born on 11 January 1973 in Indore. Rahul Dravid did not like the team's defeat. After losing the Mumbai Test against England in 2006, Captain Dravid was angrily thrown into the dressing room. In fact, with that victory, the England team managed to equalize the three-Test series 1-1.
Dravid was rarely seen getting angry on the field, but once he got into a press conference. In 2004, the Indian team was on a tour of Pakistan. During this time he was very angry on the question of match fixing. Dravid had then said, 'Take out this person (reporter). This is nonsense. These kinds of things are bad for sports.
There are only two such batsmen from Team India, who have scored more than 10,000 runs in both Test and ODI. Apart from Sachin Tendulkar, Dravid has scored 13,288 Tests, including 36 centuries and 63 half-centuries. Dravid has scored 10,889 runs in ODIs. Which includes his 12 centuries.
As a fielder, Dravid has the world record of taking the most catches. He caught 210 catches in 301 innings. Mahela Jayawardene finished second with 205 catches. While Jacques Kallis took 200 catches for his Test career.
