Rahul Dravid

Bricks can be broken but you need to stand tall against "THE WALL" And that has been the case with the Indian wall as well "THE RAHUL DRAVID"

Aggression in calmness...attitude in politeness...class in game has been the story of this great cricketer.
Dravid was born in a maharashtrian brahmin family in Indore, Madhya Pradesh but he was raised in Karnataka.
Dravid started playing cricket at the age of 12, and represented Karnataka at the under-15, the under-17 and the under-19 levels.Dravid made his Ranji Trophy debut in February 1991, while he was still attending college.
Dravid made his international debut on 3 April 1996 in an ODI against Sri Lanka in the Singer Cup held in Singapore immediately after the 1996 World Cup replacing Vinod Kambli. He wasn't particularly impressive with the bat scoring just three runs before being dismissed by Mutthai Maralitharan but took two catches in the match. He followed it up with another failure in the next ODI of the series scoring just 4 runs before getting run out against Pakistan.
But this man built a reputation for himself as one of the most dependable batsman in the world in the time to come.

Rahul Dravid captained the Indian side from 2005 till 2007.
Though his captaincy record does not show the true picture of the character he is but his records speaks a volume for him.
More than 10000 runs in test cricket and one day cricket.
He is the only batsmen to score century in all the 10 test playing nation.
