Rahul Dravid
Former Indian batsman Rahul Dravid is unbeatable. He has made many records as a batsman. Rahul Dravid played cricket for the Indian team from 1996 to 2012. During this time, he made a record which no batsman has been able to break till date. He made this record on the ground of Rawalpindi in Pakistan. Actually, a test match is to be played between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Rawalpindi. Before this match, the memories of Rahul Dravid’s innings in Rawalpindi, which he played 20 years ago, have once again become fresh.
How Rahul Dravid became the king of Rawalpindi
Team India visited Pakistan in the year 2004. A total of three matches were played in the Test series. In the third match of this series, Rahul Dravid did something that is remembered even today. In this Test match played in Rawalpindi, Rahul Dravid played an innings of 270 runs. Due to this innings, Team India won that Test match. The Indian team also won the series 2-1. After that innings of Rahul Dravid, even after 20 years, no batsman has scored so many runs in Rawalpindi. This is the biggest innings in Rawalpindi by any batsman. This is the reason why we have called Rahul Dravid the King of Rawalpindi.
No one could reach Rahul!
In that test match played against Pakistan, apart from Rahul Dravid, no batsman from either team scored a century. If we exclude Rahul Dravid’s innings, then former Team India captain Sourav Ganguly scored the highest score of 77 runs in that match. It is surprising to think how Rahul Dravid single-handedly handled the innings from one end and made such a big total. Pakistan had to face defeat by an innings and 131 runs in this match. Pakistan scored 224 runs in the first innings of this match and 245 runs in the second innings. Here also, the entire Pakistan team could not reach the score made by Rahul Dravid in any innings.
