Dravid joins 10,000-run club

Rajneesh Gupta | March 29, 2008

Rahul Dravid [Images] on Saturday became third Indian and only the sixth batsman in Test chronicles to aggregate 10,000 runs in a career.

It took Dravid 120 Tests to reach this landmark which makes him the second fastest after Brian Lara [Images] to accomplish this feat.

Not all of his runs have come for India though. His tally includes 23 runs for the ICC [Images] World XI against Australia in October 2005.
