He is the current Overseas Batting Consultant for the Indian team, and also the Head Coach for the India Under-19 and India A teams.

He is colloquially known as Dependable or Mr. Dependable and often referred to as The Great Wall or The Wall by Indian cricket followers.
Born in a Marathi family and brought up in Bangalore, he started playing cricket at the age of 12 and later represented Karnataka at the under-15, under-17, and under-19 levels. Hailed as The Wall, Dravid was named one of the best five cricketers of the year by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack in 2000 and received the Player of the Year and the Test Player of the Year awards at the inaugural ICC awards ceremony in 2004.

He has faced 31258 balls, which is the highest number of balls faced by any player in test cricket. He has also spent 44152 minutes at the crease, which is the highest time spent on the crease by any player in test cricket.
