The sliding field is one of the most demanding positions of a cricket field, which requires exceptional reflexes, unmatched concentration and unmatched capture capacity. Throughout the decades, India has produced some exceptional sliding campers, but identifying the biggest among them is still a topic of rich debate.
Recently Legendary Spinner Anil Kumble deepened this discussion during a sincere conversation with Sponge. Known for her sharp mind of Cricket and being benefited from several reliable fields of the sliding cord during her play days, Kumbles was asked to choose the largest Indian garden on the list of elite names.
Presented with options such as Ajinkya Rahane, Sanjay Manjrekar, Sachin Tendulkar, Chetshwar climb, VVS Laxman, Mohammad Azharuddin, Virender Sehwag, Wasim Jaffer, Shubman gillShot kohliand Rahul Dravid—Humble went through an attentive process before making its final choice.
Initially inclined to Rahane, Kumble was quickly rethinking once the tendulkar name was mentioned. Then he focused on Azharuddin, widely admired by his elegant style. However, when the name of Dravid appeared, Kumble did not hesitate. With a smile, Dravid declared the largest sliding garden that India has ever produced.

Dravid, affectionately known as “The Wall”, was as reliable in the sliding cord as he was with the bat. During a race of 164 tests, Dravid made an impressive 210 capture, most in the sliding region. His constant hands and his immaculate technique made him a safe bet for bowls such as Kumble and Harbhajan Singh.
While Dravid kept the world record for most catches by a non-Bicketkeeper on the test cricket for many years, England Root Joe He recently equalized his account during the Headingley test against India. Root got the feat in just 155 tests, highlighting his own brightness in the field, but the coherence of Dravid over the years still wins the highest honor for one of the largest bowls in India.
