No batsman influenced more series outcomes in Test history in a leading role than Rahul Dravid. Not just for India, but for any country. And, not just in India, but all over the world.
That is who Dravid was. That is what makes him a higher impact batsman than Sachin Tendulkar and by a distance, India’s highest impact Test batsman of all time.
This contribution by him changed Indian cricket history forever, more than any Indian batsman before, or after, him.
The only international batsman to match him on series-defining performances (SDs) in the 138 years of Test history is Inzamam-ul-Haq, who also has 8 SDs but in 44 fewer Tests (which also makes him a considerably higher impact batsman). But Dravid played the leading role during these 8 occasions more often than Inzamam did.
Of course, being in a strong team capable of taking 20 wickets and winning Test matches determines a batsman’s impact too. Sunil Gavaskar is a good example of a great player who wasn’t served by his team as much perhaps, especially abroad, but it is also a fact that his contemporary Gundappa Viswanath has one more SD than Gavaskar’s two, in 34 fewer Tests.
Tendulkar was a contemporary of Azharuddin’s in the 1990s and Dravid’s in the 2000s, yet Azharuddin got more SDs than Tendulkar in the 1990s, and Dravid more than him in the 2000s. There’s something to be said for players who rise to the occasion when their teams need them at their best; surely, it is not a coincidence when they do it this often.
There are other reasons why Dravid was such a great batsman, and we will cover those aspects, but make no mistake, this aspect of repeatedly producing his best at the biggest moments is what gives him a unique place in Test history.

PIVOTAL CAREER MOMENT
On March 13, 2001, when Rahul Dravid went out to join VVS Laxman with India 232 for 4 after following on, 42 runs away from making Australia bat again, it is unlikely that he was thinking about the unfairness of losing his no. 3 spot to the very man he was going out to bat with.
If he was, it wouldn’t have been entirely out-of-place. In the 42 Tests Dravid had played in his 5 years as a Test batsman till that moment, he had accomplished a fair bit, his batting average of 54 merely indicative of his potential.
In that period, he was India’s second-highest impact batsman after Tendulkar, who had been at his peak as a batsman then. And yet, it would have been blasphemous to take Dravid’s name with Gavaskar’s, Tendulkar’s and even Viswanath’s or Azharuddin’s at the time.
In 1996, Dravid began his Test career with 95 on debut in England in the same match Sourav Ganguly got 36 runs more on his debut and cornered the glory that Dravid would have shared with him more evenly if he had got just 5 more runs.
Despite a good series in South Africa in 1997 (where his maiden Test hundred promised much), in West Indies that same year, and against Australia at home the following year (where he produced twin fifties in a memorable momentum-changing Test where Tendulkar played the leading role), and later in Zimbabwe and New Zealand (where he got a century in each innings in a drawn Test), more recently Dravid’s performances against the best teams had dried up.
He had a mediocre series against Pakistan at home, then flopped completely in Australia and found his touch gone in the home series against South Africa as well. He feasted on Zimbabwe at home but had failed in the first Test against Australia in Mumbai as well, and also in the first innings here, in Kolkata. The doubt that he was not good enough against the best sides any more was further compounded by his demotion in the batting order, from the pivotal no. 3 to 6.
Not out overnight on 7, with Laxman on an unbeaten 109, Dravid would have felt the moment of truth, not just for himself but for his team. India was still expected to lose the match the next day, thereby ending the series effectively, as this all-time-great Australian side continued their 16-Test world-record winning streak.
180 v AUSTRALIA, MARCH 2001
But next day, the earth shifted off its axis. Steve Waugh’s attacking fields led to a relatively low-risk counter attack, first by Laxman, and then Dravid too. As they fed off each other and opened up, the knife-edge possibility of a quick end to the match if either of them was dismissed did not even seem a consideration in the rarefied zone both seemed to be operating from, the bowling attack of McGrath, Gillespie, Kasprowicz and Warne notwithstanding. When Dravid reached his own century, he showed more emotion than he ever had before, or ever would again. By tea, Laxman was 227, Dravid 106. They were visibly tired but the enormity of what they were doing kept them going. By close of play, almost a 100 more runs were added, Laxman batting on 275, Dravid on 155 – India were already 315 ahead. The two of them had batted the whole day.
Laxman finally went for 281 and Dravid was run out for 180 as he went for quick runs – sad for him, as 20 more runs by him would have perhaps changed his status among writers and fans from a support act to a co-leading man, such is the absurdity of landmarks in cricket.
India set Australia 384. Squeezing out even more poetry from reality, the Indians dismissed the bizarrely aggressive Australians for 212 giving India their most famous and landmark victory.
India went on to win the series and a new era of cricket began for India, to be led by Rahul Dravid. Sourav Ganguly’s aggressive, bold captaincy gave the Indian team an intent that had been missing for a while, but he was also extremely fortunate to have Dravid at his best in the team, along with Kumble and Harbhajan, and middle-order to die for.

GOLDEN ERA UNDERWAY
This performance changed everything, both for Indian cricket and Rahul Dravid.
For the next five years and a bit (March 2001 to July 2006), Rahul Dravid would be the world’s highest impact batsman (min. 40 Tests). The extent of his impact could be gauged by the fact that the next highest impact batsman would be 14% lower impact than him – a considerable gap. It was a reign that has seldom been matched in the 138 years of Test cricket.
And India, from a team that was struggling in Test cricket, went on to become one of the top three teams in the world (and eventually, the best, albeit for a short while).
Think about India’s most significant Test moments in that period – it is eerie how Dravid is there every single time. That is why this story needs to be told in its entirety.
It began quietly enough.
First, Dravid got his no. 3 position back as Laxman went through an injury. And then, he began to assert himself more than any number 3 batsman had in India’s Test history.
Vs Sri Lanka, August 2001 – 75 in a successful fourth innings chase of 264 (with Ganguly 98 not out) at Kandy squared the series for India, which they eventually went on to lose.
Vs South Africa, November 2001 – a five-hour match-saving 87 (with Deep Dasgupta, who contributed 63 in as much time), even though India lost the discipline-enforced shortened series.

Between March 2001 and July 2006, Rahul Dravid was the highest impact batsman in the world, by a distance. The next highest, Matthew Hayden, was 14% behind – a considerable gap.

2002 began more promisingly.
Vs West Indies, April 2002 – India won their first Test in West Indies in 26 years, Dravid contributing prominently in it as well (with 67 and 36 in a low-scoring game). They still could not win the series though.
And then came England, and the attempt to give India their first win on English soil in 16 years. After characteristically losing the first Test at Lord’s, and earning a respectable draw in the second Test (where Dravid’s second innings 115 from 11 for 2 went some way towards saving it), Ganguly won the toss at Headingley in cloudy conditions with a green-tinged wicket waiting, and completely against the norm and expert opinion, decided to bat first. What happened next remains the stuff of legend.

148 v ENGLAND, AUGUST 2002
Sehwag departed at 15 for 1, after struggling to make 8 in half-an-hour. Dravid joined Sanjay Bangar – not even a specialist opener. The ball was darting around, swinging viciously, the bowlers were enjoying the arc to the slips, the collective English eye glinting. Hoggard, Caddick,
Tudor and Flintoff attacked off-stump and induced many a play-and-miss. There was even uneven bounce, as Dravid dug out and fended off with equal facility. But the pitch settled down soon and picking up singles and occasional boundaries through the many gaps and displaying enormous patience overall, the two forced the English to gradually set less attacking fields, especially when they looked up at the scoreboard and saw India touch 150 without losing at least 4 more wickets as they rightly should have in these conditions. Where did we screw up – thought the English. Here’s the next ball – thought Dravid and Bangar. Till 185, when Bangar nicked one, and though Tendulkar came in and was quiet for a while, Dravid carried on with the same assurance. At the end of day’s play, India was 236 for 2, Dravid not out 110. Quietly, the foundation had been laid, and as would become apparent later, the match had been won that day. Things would get much easier thereafter; Tendulkar would get 193, Ganguly 128. India, with 628, could apply pressure and would win by an innings. But Dravid’s 148, which tamed the first day’s conditions and carried on, would get the Man-of-the-Match award. The series would be evened, and 1-1 would stay the final scoreline.
Dravid got 217 in the last Test in England and then an injury-hit 100 against West Indies at home, to become the first Indian to score four consecutive hundreds in Tests. More than the runs amassed, their significance lay in how much they impacted the results. Two of them led to innings victories, and the other two helped keep the series scoreline intact.

Dravid is the second-most consistent batsman in Indian Test history after Gavaskar.

The runs kept coming – 76 out of 161 in a lost cause in New Zealand in treacherous batting conditions. Then, 222 and 73 against them in a drawn home Test and series.
And then there was Australia, where India had not won a Test in 32 years. McGrath and Warne were injured but the bench strength was strong enough to provoke predictions of a whitewash from many experts.
The first Test was drawn, thanks to perhaps Ganguly’s finest Test innings (144 made from 62 for 3), a good result for India.

233 and 72 NOT OUT V AUSTRALIA, DECEMBER 2003
In the second Test, replying to Australia’s mammoth 556, India were 85 for 4, having lost 3 wickets in less than half-an-hour – the run of play favouring Australia entirely, the series moving along predicted lines again. This time Laxman joined Dravid, and the seniority reversed from 2001. They put on 303 in six hours, when Laxman fell for 148. Then, with the wicketkeeper and the tail, Dravid added 135 more before being the last man out for 233 – at the time, India’s highest individual Test score abroad. Australia collapsed in the second innings (thanks to Ajit Agarkar’s only memorable Test match moment) and Dravid was back again at 48 for 1 as India chased a tricky 230 to win. He anchored the innings with an unbeaten 72 in four hours of batting as India won by 6 wickets and took the lead in Australia for the only time in their Test history before or since. Either of these innings would have been the stuff of legend but to do both in the same match gave an indication to what heights Dravid had touched by now.
Despite changing the momentum of the series, India lost the next match after being in a good position as Australia came right back to level the series. In the final Test, Australia barely managed to hold on for a draw. It was India’s most successful Australian tour.
The very next series was a long-awaited tour of Pakistan. Sehwag’s triple century in the first Test helped India take the lead, which they lost in the next Test, courtesy Umar Gul. The deciding Test of the landmark series couldn’t have been set up better.
270 v PAKISTAN, APRIL 2004
Pakistan was dismissed for 224, thanks to the pacers. But India lost Sehwag off the first ball and Dravid joined makeshift opener Parthiv Patel and calmed things down, especially a charged-up Shoaib Akhtar. Then Patel scored freely for a while before being dismissed at 129, and then Tendulkar was gone one run later; 130 for 3 put the match, and series, in the balance. Everybody got a few runs after that from one end while Dravid occupied the other – he was eighth out for 270 while going for quick runs, and India’s 600 rounded-up the series as well, as India went on to win by an innings. This was India’s first-ever series win Pakistan.

No batsman in Test history registered more series-defining performances than Dravid, except for Inzamam-ul-Haq, 8 apiece. However, Dravid played the leading role in more of these performances than Inzamam in his.

Indian cricket was on the kind of upswing it hadn’t experienced for a long time. A legendary batting order of Sehwag, Tendulkar, Laxman and Ganguly contributed at different times, as did Kumble, Harbhajan and the medium pacers, but the overwhelming constant at all the key moments was Dravid. This happened with such unerring consistency that it almost seems scripted now.
However, 6 months later, Dravid had his first indifferent series in a long while which enabled a determined Australia to provide India with their first serious downswing, as they lost the series 1-2.
Vs Australia, November 2004: India were 0-2 down with the last Test to go in Mumbai. On a wicket that was turning viciously from day one, they were dismissed for a sorry 104, with Dravid 31 not out. In the second innings, India fought back through Laxman and Tendulkar (who got fifties) and Dravid provided a fighting 27 too. In a match where Australia couldn’t make 107 to win, a 1-2 series result was scant consolation.
This was to be the only home Test series India would lose in 12 years.
It was made up somewhat shortly thereafter, as India beat South Africa in a deciding Test at home.

80 AND 47 NOT OUT V SOUTH AFRICA, NOVEMBER 2004
Replying to South Africa’s 305, India were 17 for 1 when Dravid walked out to join Sehwag. Together, they produced the most significant partnership of the match as both got eighties in their own styles. The middle-order played well and India got a lead of 106. Kumble and Harbhajan combined brilliantly again and India soon had 117 to win, though at 15 for 1 again, it was upto Dravid to reduce the loss of Sehwag’s wicket to a hiccup. India won by 8 wickets and the series 1-0.
Dravid’s march continued, even though India kept faltering at crunch moments.
Vs Pakistan, March 2005: India took the lead in the series largely due to Dravid’s century in each innings as the Kolkata crowd got to see over 12 hours of batting from him. India lost the next Test though and the series was drawn 1-1.

Only four Indian batsmen absorbed more pressure (of falling wickets) more than Dravid in Indian Test history. All of them batted lower than him in the batting order.

Vs Pakistan, January 2006: On a Lahore featherbed, forced to open the batting with Sehwag, Dravid’s unbeaten 128 played a part in the 410-run opening stand that fell just 3 runs shy of the world record when Sehwag fell for 254 off 247 balls. The match was predictably drawn but the series was eventually lost.
Vs England, March 2006: Dravid’s top-scoring 95 helped India take a 35-run lead in the first innings and his unbeaten 42 helped finish the 144-run chase with complete calm. However, England won the next Test and the series was drawn 1-1.
India travelled to West Indies next, still looking for their first series win there in 35 years. After dominating the first three Tests but unable to finish any of the matches, the final Test began on a bowler-friendly pitch in Kingston, Jamaica.

81 and 68 V WEST INDIES, JUNE 2006
Batting first after winning the toss against conventional wisdom (given the conditions), India was 3 for 2 when captain Dravid came out to bat (he was at no. 4 in the series, with Laxman at 3, as Tendulkar was injured). Did any thoughts of a jinx go through his mind then? Or at 58 for 4? Or 78 for 5? Surely at 91 for 6? The innings finally found stability as Dravid and Kumble took the score to 184, when Kumble went for 45. Thirteen runs later, Dravid nicked one (for 81) and three runs later, India were all out. West Indies collapsed from 42-1 to 103 all out (Harbhajan Singh 5-13 in 4.3 overs). Out walked Dravid again at 6 for 2, which stumbled to 49 for 3 and crumbled to 76 for 5. But the captain did it all over again; partnerships with the lower-order took the score to 154 before he was dismissed. Seventeen runs later, India was all-out. Kumble got into the act thereafter, and West Indies were dismissed 49-runs short. It wasn’t hyperbolic to say Dravid had done it single-handedly with the bat – after all, Dravid had occupied the batting crease longer than the entire West Indian team in both innings combined, on one of the toughest batting pitches of his career.
There is this big myth – of matching bowler strength against batting strengths, based purely on reputation and records; in these conditions, the attack of Pedro Collins, Jerome Taylor, Dwayne Bravo and Corey Collymore had been much harder to handle than much bigger names in world cricket in less bowling-friendly conditions.

OVERWHELMINGLY A LEGEND ALREADY
This ended Dravid’s best phase in his international career and one of the greatest phases in Test cricket history.
If for some reason, his career had ended then (after 103 Tests), he would have finished as the fifth highest impact batsman of all time, after Don Bradman, Peter May, Inzamam-ul-Haq and Greg Chappell. His failure rate of just 36% was comparable to Gavaskar’s but his influence in affecting series results took him to a stratosphere beyond reach for most Test batsmen, including many considered greater than him.
People talk of how significant a captain Ganguly was but it is important to remember that without this colossus batting at his best for the team, regardless of the other luminaries in the team, India would not have achieved most of what they did.
However, after this euphoria, some grim times awaited.

HARD TIMES
As a Test captain, Dravid had two great moments post this – India’s maiden Test win in South Africa (though they could not win the series) in 2006 and a series win in England in 2007 (after 31 years). His batting form fell away alarmingly though, and even though he produced fine innings once-in-a-while, they did not have anything near the impact of what he had accomplished previously.
In late-2007, Dravid resigned his captaincy perhaps hoping to find his touch again. But it did not help much.
From July 2006 till January 2011, Dravid was India’s lowest impact specialist batsman (minimum 20 Tests) – a stunning fall from who he had so recently been. And yet, through this gloom, he produced performances that promised better things, but more importantly, contributed to his team’s fortunes at important moments – a quality he still hadn’t entirely lost, even at his worst.
Vs Pakistan, November 2007: In the opening Test, on a low scoring pitch, Dravid made 38 (out of 276) in the first innings and 34 in a fourth innings chase of 203 that India won. This was the only result Test of the series.
Vs Australia, January 2008: After losing the first two Tests, including the infamous “Monkeygate” Test at Sydney, on a bouncy pitch at Perth, Dravid top-scored for India with 93 (a gritty 3-hour effort) as India managed 330. It went a long way towards India winning the match – the first match Australia had lost in this venue in 32 years (barring the all-time-great West Indian side of the 1980s). However, they could not win the last Test and were therefore unable to draw the series.
Vs New Zealand, March 2009: India had won the first Test at Hamilton (where Dravid had contributed 66 in India’s match-winning 520), but New Zealand had come back strongly at Napier, putting up 619. India were 78 for 3 in reply but Dravid’s near-five-hour top-scoring effort of 83 helped India reach 305. They followed-on, and batted much better as a team in the second innings, making 476 for 4, with Dravid getting a 62 too. The match was drawn as was the next, and India won a Test series in New Zealand after 41 years.
Vs Sri Lanka, November, 2009: Dravid had his best run in a long while with a sequence of scores that read 177, 144 and 74 as India won the Test series 2-0 on largely lifeless pitches at home (despite this run, he wasn’t even the highest run-scorer in the series; Sehwag was). However, the series was significant because with this emphatic win, India became the number 1 Test team in the world as per the ICC Rankings.
Vs New Zealand, November 2010: With the Kiwis competing hard, the series had been tied after 2 Tests. In the deciding Test at Nagpur, after dismissing New Zealand for 193, the Indian batsmen played well as a unit to more-or-less finish the match off with a mammoth 566 – the overwhelming top-scorer was Dravid with a six-and-a-half hour 191. If this New Zealand team had been graded more strongly in away tours, this would have been yet another SD for Dravid.

From July 2006 till January 2011, Dravid was India’s lowest impact specialist batsman – a stunning fall.

Dravid ended that phase with a poor series in South Africa. The World Cup was about to begin in the subcontinent and there’d be no Test cricket for a while (Dravid had already been out of the ODI scene for 15 months). Many believed it was a good time for him to call time on his career.
But there was a twist in store.

40 and 112 V WEST INDIES, JUNE 2011
A weakened Indian Test team (no Tendulkar, Sehwag or Zaheer) got a tough examination first up in the series on that same tricky Kingston pitch of 2006. The déjà vu was complete when Dravid top-scored for India in the match in a low-scoring game that they won by 63 runs, only their fifth Test win ever in West Indies. The next two Tests were hard-fought draws, giving this match an SD status.
A much-anticipated Test series then unfolded in England. For the world’s number one Test team, winning here would have enhanced their World Number 1 Test Ranking.
Instead, India faced their worst series defeat in over a decade, losing 0-4, and losing their no. 1 ranking along the way; they have still not been able to get it back.
But 38-year-old Rahul Dravid, playing his last Test series in his favourite cricket-playing country, gave an exhibition no one would forget.
Vs England, July/ August 2011: In the first Test, Dravid made an unbeaten 103 from No. 3 out of 286 and then 36 as an opener. India lost badly.
In the second Test, which was at a knife’s edge in the first half, Dravid made 117 out of India’s 288 in the first innings, again as an opener. India collapsed in the second innings to lose by a huge margin. The entire Indian batting was dismal in the next Test and India lost by an innings.
In the fourth Test, Dravid gave one last demonstration of the peak of his powers as he carried his bat though as an opener for 146 as India managed just 300. It was a stunning innings but a last hurrah as India collapsed again in the second innings and lost by an innings yet again.
Given his form, Dravid was pencilled in for the ODI series and he got a chance to bid goodbye to limited overs cricket officially.
In the home Test series against a relatively weak West Indies, Dravid had a sequence of 54, 31, 119, 82 and 33 which promised much for the Australian tour that winter. However, despite a good fifty in the first match at Melbourne, he fell away as did all of India’s batting. They lost that series 0-4 too and Dravid had had enough. True to character, he classily waited for the ODI series to end so as not to take away attention from it, and then announced his retirement.

WHY DRAVID IS HIGHER IMPACT THAN TENDULKAR
Curiously, if both Dravid and Tendulkar had retired from Tests at the end of World Cup 2011, they would both be neck-to-neck on impact, with nothing really to choose between them. This is interesting because Dravid had the worst period of his career between 2006 and 2011, whereas Tendulkar’s highest impact phase in his career came between 2008 and 2011.
Post the World Cup, Tendulkar had a horrifying fall; that ridiculous hundred international hundreds hype turned out to be a curse and ostensibly ate him up. He was India’s lowest impact specialist batsman from then till the end of his career with an unreal 61% failure rate.
Dravid, on the other hand, in the 14 Tests he played since that World Cup till the end of his career, was India’s highest impact batsman with a failure rate of 29%. So, despite the hype around Tendulkar’s farewell Test, and despite that poor series in Australia, it was actually Dravid who went out on a high.
If we take career figures, the comparison is less obvious. Tendulkar’s batting average of 53.78 in 200 Tests is favourable to Dravid’s 52.31 in 164 Tests. Tendulkar also has a colossal 51 centuries and 68 half-centuries to Dravid’s 36 centuries and 63 half-centuries. These figures are supposed to be a clear indication to Tendulkar’s superiority, despite there being no context to them – who they were scored against and what circumstances they were scored in. More’s the pity.
As mentioned in the beginning, it is Dravid’s series-defining performances (SDs) that set him apart from everyone else, including Tendulkar.
Sachin Tendulkar has 6 SDs in 200 Tests. And 3 of those were in support roles. Whereas, in Dravid’s case, only 1 of his 8 SDs came in a support role; he played an emphatic leading role in the other 7. And five of them came outside India – in England, Australia, Pakistan, and West Indies (twice), four of them landmark wins. In fact, no batsman in Test history had as many SDs overseas as Inzamam and Dravid.
If you look at the overview of his Test career, you can clearly see why Dravid influenced India’s series results more than anyone else.
There can also be no doubt that batting at a No. 3 is a harder job in Test cricket than batting at No. 4 (easily proven by batting averages too, you don’t even need impact). That could partly be the reason why Dravid influenced results more than Tendulkar, but that was not due to any design from his side. Tendulkar steadfastly held that batting position right through his career and refused to adjust, even when the team could have benefitted from it. Dravid, on the other hand, batted as an opener, at No. 5 and 6 too, but primarily at No. 3.
These explain some of his other outstanding attributes as a batsman.

BREAKING DRAVID’S BATTING ELEMENTS DOWN
When it comes to consistency , only Gavaskar trumped Dravid on this score. Gavaskar’s 36% failure rate was remarkable for an opening batsman. Dravid’s overall 39% failure rate is remarkable given the relatively poor run he had between 2006 and 2011 (when his failure rate was 52%). Tendulkar’s 42% failure rate no doubt suffers from his post World Cup 2011 run. Not surprisingly, no other Indian batsman has a lower failure rate than these three.
Dravid curiously registered a high New Ball Impact (for seeing the new ball off) – easily the highest amongst Indian non-openers. But even if you consider opening batsmen, only Gavaskar, Gambhir and Sidhu are ahead of Dravid on this count (minimum 40 Tests). This tells you how much India struggled to find opening batsman for a while (1996 to 2002) and how accomplished a No. 3 batsman Dravid was.
As far as absorbing the pressure of falling wickets goes, only four Indian batsmen did it better than Dravid – MAK Pataudi, GR Viswanath, Chandu Borde and VVS Laxman (min 40 Tests). Given that Dravid batted at a higher batting position than all of them, and also was in a team that won much more than their respective teams did, this underlines his importance beyond just the numbers. Tendulkar comes up narrowly after Dravid – primarily for all that he had to do pre-2001 when Indian cricket turned the corner.
Most significantly, no one has a higher Runs Tally Impact or Partnership Building Impact than Dravid in Indian Test history. In both cases, Gavaskar is the closest to him, Tendulkar third.
And when it comes to longevity, Dravid is, of course, second only to Tendulkar. And yet, despite the 36 more Tests and the 7 extra years Tendulkar played, Dravid has more SDs and influenced Indian Test history more than him.
In the end, that really is the first and last word.
