Dravid joins 10,000-run club

Rahul Dravid 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 to accomplish this feat.

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