“When it comes to technique and performing under pressure, Rahul Dravid was one step ahead of all those who have represented India. Like I had mentioned in case of Sehwag, Dravid also played under the shadows of Tendulkar,” Latif said in a YouTube show.

“Tendulkar had a lot of confidence in him to attack from the beginning. This is not to suggest that Dravid didn’t have that but he used to play a different role. When India lost a couple of early wickets, he was the main man, that’s why he was called the Wall.

“If you look at the partnerships then you will find Dravid’s name a lot of times with Tendulkar, Sehwag and Ganguly,” Latif said.

He went on to appreciate Dravid’s ability to score runs against any team, as he challenged to name one team against which he hadn’t scored runs. “…He scored against Pakistan. He was good in Australia, South Africa, West Indies, England, everywhere,” exclaimed Latif.

Dravid is the second Indian to score more than 10,000 runs in ODIs and Tests after Sachin Tendulkar. He has 13,288 runs in Tests bringing the average to 52 runs. In ODIs he has 10,889 runs, bringing the average to 39 runs.
