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. 10,000 run-club members Batsman | Mts | Inns | Runs | Hs | Avg | 100 | 50 | BC Lara (WI) | 131 | 232 | 11953 | 400* | 52.88 | 34 | 48 | SR Tendulkar (Ind) | 147 | 238 | 11782 | 248* | 55.31 | 39 | 49 | AR Border (Aus) | 156 | 265 | 11174 | 205 | 50.56 | 27 | 63 | SR Waugh (Aus) | 168 | 260 | 10927 | 200 | 51.06 | 32 | 50 | SM Gavaskar (Ind) | 125 | 214 | 10122 | 236* | 51.12 | 34 | 45 | R Dravid (Ind) | 120 | 206 | 10031 | 270 | 55.41 | 25 | 51 |
