"Rahul Dravid, now leading the Indian cricket team in the West Indies on Tuesday completed 10 glorious years in the Test arena - a journey marked by remarkable consistency and constant endeavour to improve.
Dravid will play his 103rd Test when the third Test begins in St Kitts on Thursday. It was on June 20, 1996, that the right-hander from Bangalore made his debut against England at Lord's, London. And Dravid straight way showed his class and calibre as he scored 95 in the only innings of the Test. Essentially a batsman who takes time to get set before tearing the bowling attack apart, Dravid, now 33, has been quite successful in one-day cricket too, though some experts had short-sightedly declared him a misfit for the shorter version a few years ago. After playing 172 Test innings, Dravid has amassed 8,810 runs at an average of 58.34 - an indication of amazing consistency that places him ninth in the all-time list of highest averages.
He has played 47 Tests at home, scoring 3,761 runs at 51"
