Congrats to Dravid


Rahul Dravid, the former indian captain made the world record of highest catch taker in Test Cricket. Rahul Dravid achived this world record in Test match against New Zealand at Wellington on April 6th on the fourth day of the final testmatch dismissing Tim McIntosh.Dravid standing at third slip fumbled a bit before securing this record equalling catch.India won the series 1-0.He broke MarkWaugh's 181 catches record.The other cricketers who have catches nearby Dravid are Mark Waugh with 181 catches, Ricky Ponting having 148 catches, Jacques Kallis and Jayawardene with 147 and 142 catch respectively.
Though his batting records were always been overshadowed by sachin , he is quiet on his own in the slips

Also Dravid had a good Test match series against Newzealand scoring consistently though he couldnt convert any of them to a century
