For the duration of his career, Rahul Dravid, an ever-dependable and reliable batsman, was the glue that held the Indian cricket team’s top and lower-order together. And three of his 12 ODI centuries, along with eight half-centuries, have come against the Windies. During the West Indies tour of India in 2002, he scored a vital 109* against the Windies in Ahmedabad. He has a total of 1348 runs at an average of 42.12.
