After India’s bowlers restricted Sri Lanka to 230, thanks largely to a brilliant opening spell by Zaheer Khan, the chase was delicately poised when India slipped to 94 for 4. Under pressure, Dravid took complete control of the innings, rotating the strike, absorbing pressure, and building a decisive partnership with MS Dhoni that swung the match firmly in India’s favour. Batting at No.5—a role discussed before the match—Dravid adapted perfectly to the situation, playing a calm and intelligent innings that not only won India the game but also saw him reach a major personal milestone: 10,000 ODI runs, becoming only the sixth player in history to do so. Despite downplaying the achievement, Dravid highlighted the team effort, praising the bowling trio of Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel, and Ajit Agarkar, calling them key players for India’s upcoming World Cup campaign. Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene later admitted that Dravid’s innings was the turning point, acknowledging how his calm presence and ability to keep the scoreboard ticking broke Sri Lanka’s momentum. 📍 Opposition: Sri Lanka 🏏 Format: One Day International ⭐ Highlight: Rahul Dravid’s match-winning 66 🏆 Milestone: 10,000 ODI runs 🔥 Key Partnership: Dravid & Dhoni #indvssl #highlights #highlights #rahuldravid #india #odi
