Dravid fifth highest run scorer in Test history behind Tendulkar
Tendulkar, who made his Test debut on 15 November 1989, made only four in the first innings of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Ahmedabad.
Dravid ended the day unbeaten on 177, becoming the fifth-highest run scorer in Test history in the process.
And Dhoni contributed 110 as the hosts recovered from 32-4 to post 385-6.
Tendulkar, the all-time leading run scorer in both Test and one-day history, smashed the first ball he faced to the cover boundary, but fell two deliveries later when he was bowled by a jubilant Welegedara.
Dravid, nicknamed the ‘Wall’ for his solidity and technical excellence, hit 26 boundaries and a six in an unusually aggressive innings.
When he reached 105, the 36-year-old surpassed former Australian captain Steve Waugh’s tally of 10,927 runs to become the fifth highest run scorer in Test history, behind Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting and Allan Border.
