Congratulations Rahul Dravid for Breaking the World Record


I would like to congratulate, “The Wall” Rahul Dravid for breaking the world record for the number of catches in Test match cricket. When he helped Zaheer Khan to claim the wicket of the Kiwi opening batsman Tim McIntosh at third slip, he broke the long standing world record of the Australian batting great, Mark Waugh. Rahul Dravid went past Waugh’s 181 catches and now has got 183 catches to his name.

Now Rahul Dravid is well ahead of Ricky Ponting (148 catches) and Jacques Kallis (147 catches) among the current players. In addition to the large number of catches, Rahul Dravid also has 26 test centuries and 56 fifties to his name. Once again I applaud the great man for his achievement.
