“The best guy I’ve played with was Sachin Tendulkar. In terms of quality and class. So I’d pick Sachin, at his best,” Dravid answered during a video interview with espncricinfo.

The recent ICC Hall of Fame inductee, who coached the India U-19 team to a World Cup title earlier this year, was also asked about the funniest sledge he ever received.

“When I walked in at Kolkata, I was reminded that I’d been batting at No.3 in the first Test, and by the time we reached the third innings in Kolkata I was No.6,” he recounted.

“So I was told that by the end of the series I’d be No.12, which I thought was really funny.”

When asked which batsman from the past he would have liked to forge a partnership with, Dravid said: “I would have loved to have partnered Sunil Gavaskar. And hopefully Gavaskar would have gotten out when I was still batting and GR Viswanath would have walked in. That would have been cool. They were my childhood heroes growing up.”

Dravid heaped praised on South Africa quick Kagiso Rabada as one of the bowlers he would love to face from the current generation.

“If you’re counting Indian bowlers, Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) would be quite a challenge. Facing Bhuvi with the new ball with his ability to get the ball to move away and come back in would be a great challenge,” the batting legend said.

Dravid has faced the most number of deliveries in test cricket.

They didn't count every balls in the days of SMG or the start of SRT's career. Statistically Dravid may have played the most balls, but there's some who have played more balls per test or innings.

This appears to be from Indian players only. What about international ones?
