[39][141], Dravid hit the peak form of his career in 2002. In temperatures above 32C, Taylor survived two dropped catches before he had reached 25 and scored slowly on the first day. [14][31] To make matters worse, Australia's first-choice pace pairing of Craig McDermott and Merv Hughes missed the tour due to injury. [231][232] Smith also rated his first innings hundred at Edgbaston as his best ever. He remained unbeaten on 138. [28] He represented his school's Under-13,[26] Under-15, Under-17, Under-19 and first XI squads[29] and was awarded his school's The Trinity Lion award and Ryde Gold Medal. There is no certainty of a complete statistical record of any season until well into the 19th century, which is why Roy Webber and others have been reluctant to begin their first-class cricket statistics before the 1864 season, notwithstanding the official commencement of first-class cricket in 1895.[47]. [103] By now, Dravid had started to keep wickets on an infrequent basis with India fielding him as designated wicket-keeper in five out of 10 ODIs played in the three events. Following the 50 ODI defeat in South Africa, the Australian team returned home for a 3 Test series against South Africa. His first two hauls against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh came in Sri Lanka in 1986. The idea was that making Dravid keep wickets allowed India to accommodate an extra specialist batsman. He was the captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad team. Nevertheless, he had scored 422 runs at 46.89. [6][10] In late 1991, before the Australian season started, Taylor was appointed to lead an Australia A side to tour Zimbabwe.

Taylor idolised Arthur Morris, the left-handed opening batsmen from New South Wales who led the aggregates on the 1948 "Invincibles" tour of England. His performance in the series was met with widespread admiration and was hailed by some as one of his finest ever series[180][181], Rahul Dravid was dropped from the ODI team in 2009, but was selected again for an ODI series in England in 2011, surprising even Dravid himself since, although he had not officially retired from ODI cricket, he had not expected to be recalled. Dravid scored 99 runs in the First ODI helping India post an imposing total of 349. He scored 46 and a duckhis first in Australiaas England were saved when thunderstorms forced the abandonment of play on the final afternoon.

Dravid scored his fourth hundred of the season at Colombo in the first innings of the match. Both instance records (such as highest team and individual scores, lowest team scores and record margins of victory) and season and career records (such as most runs or wickets in a season, and most runs or wickets in a career) are included. [71], In the 201011 Australian summer, Smith played three Tests in the 201011 Ashes series, this time playing more as a batsman, taking the number six spot in the order. In July 2018, Dravid became the fifth Indian cricketer to be inducted into ICC Hall of Fame. [120][121], The Australian juggernaut seemed unstoppable as they looked on course towards their 17th consecutive victory in the Second Test at the Eden Gardens, when they bowled India out for meagre 171 in the first innings and enforced a follow-on after securing a massive lead of 274 runs. [201] Out of 7 first class tour games that Zimbabwe played on that tour, Kent was the only team that managed to beat them. The remaining batsmen scored 27 and there was one extra. [17][18], In 2014, Rahul Dravid joined the GoSports Foundation, Bangalore as a member of their board of advisors.

[36], He eventually made his international debut on 3 April 1996 in an ODI against Sri Lanka in the Singer Cup held in Singapore immediately after the 1996 World Cup, replacing Vinod Kambli. After the match, he said that he was willing to see the comeback of English batsman Kevin Pietersen to international cricket.[133][134]. He hit 12 sixes in that game, and it stands to this day as the record for the most sixes by any player in a single Test innings. [115] This also marked Steve Smith's first Test century against India and at the Adelaide Oval. [48] He also effected 7 dismissals (6 catches, 1 stumping) in the series. Aggregate runs (14,234 in 404 matches at an Average of 41.98) Sangakkara is second on the list. On Australia Day, he was named the Australian of the Year.

[111] In May 2000, while Dravid was busy playing county cricket in England, he was appointed as the vice-captain of the Indian team announced for the Asia cup. [40][41][42][43], In November 2018, Smith was retained by Rajasthan Royals for the 2019 Indian Premier League. West Indian batting great Viv Richards rates Akram as best fast bowler he ever faced after Dennis Lillee.

Greatest margins of victory by an innings, Most dismissals (catches plus stumpings) in a career, Tasmania won the toss and batted first, scoring 217.

[11][71], The 1997 Ashes tour started poorly amid rumours that Taylor was on the verge of losing his place in the side. [10][14] He scored half-centuries in each of the next two Tests before striking 100 in the second innings of the Fourth Test at Adelaide. The highlight of his tour was the Fifth Test at Trent Bridge when he and Geoff Marsh became the first pair to bat throughout a day's play of Test cricket in England, amassing 301 runs. Wagner took five wickets in the over, a world's first. [69][70] He finished with 22 Man-of-the-Match awards in ODIs. [54] The Pakistan series began among a media circus when Salim Malik arrived with publicity focused on the bribery allegations which had surfaced a year earlier.

During his school days, he was a chorister and played the violin.[27]. He scored 270 runs his career best performance before getting out to reverse sweep trying to force the pace. [293] Smith made a second century in the second match at Sydney, again requiring only 62 deliveries. South Africa was bowled out for 96, Australia winning by 97 runs, and winning the T20I series 21. Although Dravid scored a hundred against Tasmania in the practice match, he failed miserably with the bat in the Test series as India slumped to a 03 whitewash. 3 position which had been Dravid's usual spot for quite sometime now, while Dravid, who had gotten out bowled to Warne for second time in a row in the first innings for just 25 runs, was relegated to no. Seven of these centuries were hit at the Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium. [26] He was selected to India's national cricket team while working towards an MBA at St Joseph's College of Business Administration, also Bangalore. One Day International (ODI) cricket is played between international cricket teams who are Full Members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) as well as the top four Associate members. After the conclusion of the second test, a special farewell presentation was held for Sangakkara with the presence of President Maithreepala Sirisena, Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe, former Sri Lankan Test captain Arjuna Ranatunga, former Indian Test captain Sunil Gavaskar, and several cricket celebrities.

[289] Smith was still feeling the effects before the 3rd ODI, and was left out again, missing all three matches in the series.[290]. Dravid concluded a successful stint with Kent aggregating 1221 runs from 16 first class matches(15 county games and 1 tour game against Zimbabwe) at an average of 55.50 including 2 hundreds and 8 fifties.

Wilfred Rhodes achieved it 287 times. Following two surgeries, he re-emerged in the 1990s as a fast bowler who focused more on swing and accurate bowling. [208] Smith's diminishing returns with the bat and lower than average strike rate suggested that he may have been struggling somewhat. [209] During the match South African fast bowler and player of the match Kagiso Rabada was suspended for the following Test after he made physical contact with Smith after he dismissed him. [6][10], During his career Taylor made 20 centuries in international cricket 19 in Test matches and one in an ODI. Dravid contributed to Kent's county campaign not just with the bat but also with his fielding and bowling taking 14 catches and 4 wickets at an average of 32.00. In March 2018, Smith was widely criticised for overseeing ball tampering in the third Test against South Africa, during which he stood down from the team captaincy and was replaced by Tim Paine. [137] In the quarter-final of the Royal London One-Day Cup against Yorkshire, he scored 121 from as many balls, which became his 100th century in all formats of the game combined, that now included 61 in first-class and 39 in List A games.

The conclusion of the Test series saw Smith be given the man of the series award, scoring 769 runs at an average of 128.16, the highest aggregate score in a four-test match series in Australia and also marked the highest number of runs scored against India by an Australian, surpassing Donald Bradman.[121][122].

Apart from Laker's, there have only been two instances of seventeen wickets in a match since World War II, by John Davison for Canada against United States of America in an ICC Intercontinental Cup match in 2004,[122] and Kyle Abbott for Hampshire against Somerset in the First Division of the County Championship in 2019.[123]. [26][27] His mother's name is Begum Akram. Dravid didn't contribute much with the bat. [90] He made 92 in the second innings, giving him the second highest Test match aggregate after English batsmen Graham Gooch, who scored 333 and 123 for a total of 456 against India at Lord's on 26 July 1990.
