Rahul Dravid scored 16 centuries in Test matches and 22 in ODIs.

Rahul Dravid is an Indian cricketer and captain of the Indian national team. He scored centuries (100 or more runs) on 16 occasions in Test cricket and in 22 One Day International (ODI) matches.[1] He never played a Twenty20 international.[2]

In Tests, Dravid scored centuries against all the Test-cricket playing nations except the West Indies and South Africa. He is sixth on the list of leading Test century makers for India.[3] He made a century on Test debut, scoring 131 against England in Lord's in 1996, the tenth Indian player to score a century on Test debut,[4] and is the third player – the first since John Hampshire in 1969 – to score a century on debut at Lord's.[5] In his next Test match at Trent Bridge, he made 136, becoming only the third batsman to make a century in each of his first two innings.[6] His highest score is 239, against Pakistan in 2007 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore. This was his only double century (200 or more runs). His centuries have been scored in fourteen cricket grounds, of which eight were outside India. He ended up in the nineties on four occasions, including twice on 99.[7]

In ODIs, Dravid scored centuries against ten opponents, including all the cricketing nations that have permanent One Day International status except the West Indies. His first ODI century was against Sri Lanka at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo in 1997. His highest ODI score is 183, which was also scored against Sri Lanka at the County Ground, Taunton in 1999. He is fourth in the list of leading century makers in ODIs, behind Sachin Tendulkar, who has 49, Sanath Jayasuriya with 28 and Ricky Ponting with 26.[8] Out of these centuries, four were scored at home grounds and eighteen were at away (opposition's home) or neutral venues. He was dismissed six times between 90 and 100.[9]
