Rahul Dravid became only the third Indian batsman to aggregate 300 runs in a match with his match winning knocks of 233 and unbeaten 72 in the second Test match at the Adelaide Oval.

The other Indians to do so are Sunil Gavaskar and VVS Laxman. Dravid has now aggregated 250 (or more) runs in a match on four occasions, more than any other batsman for India.

The previous Indian record was held by Sunil Gavaskar who had three such instances on his name.

Dravid would now be looking to overtake on the legendary Don Bradman. The Australian had aggregated 250 runs in a match on as many as seven occasions.

As of now, Dravid is at level with two Pakistanis Zaheer Abbas and Javed Miandad.

The following table lists all Indians with over 250 runs in a match:
