Rahul's 100th Test still to come

Saturday, March 25, 2006, 16:08 [IST]

New Delhi, Mar 25 (UNI) Though the disappointment of losing the Mumbai Test against England will always be there but Rahul Dravid can take heart from the fact that it was not his 100th after all, not for India at least.

The match was in fact his 99th Test playing for India.

This is because Dravid was part of the World XI team which played against Australia last year and the ICC gave official recognition to the game meaning the Indian captain still has one more Test to go before completing his 100th for India.

So, Dravid still has a chance to rewrite the record books when India take on West Indies after the ODI series against England.
