Rahul Dravid is one of the best batsmen in the history of Test cricket. From swinging conditions to fast and bouncy tracks and Australia, Dravid scored runs everywhere he played. In fact, Dravid is one of the few players who have hit a Test hundred against every Test playing nation. Many believe that Dravid had one of the tightest techniques in the game and he was one of the biggest reasons why India did well in away Test matches under the leadership of Sourav Ganguly.
