This record of Rahul Dravid has not been broken till date in Champions Trophy, Rohit-Virat have a chance

His unique defensive style and excellent technique earned him immense respect on and off the cricket field. Dravid, who made his Test debut against England at the iconic Lord's ground in 1996, holds several records in the longest format of cricket. The Champions Trophy is scheduled to be held in Pakistan next month. In such a situation, today we will talk about a record made by Dravid in this tournament, which no one has been able to break till now.

He has scored the joint-highest number of half-centuries for India in the Champions Trophy, also known as the Mini World Cup. Dravid has scored more than fifty runs six times in 15 innings of 19 matches in this tournament. During this period, he scored 627 runs at an average of 48.23, in which his highest score was 76 runs. There is every possibility that his record will be broken this year.

Big opportunity for Rohit and Virat
Rohit Sharma, who failed with the bat in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar series, has so far scored 481 runs in 10 matches in this tournament at an impressive average of 53.44. During this period, he has scored four half-centuries and one century. Thus, Rohit needs two fifties to break Dravid's record of more than six fifties in the tournament. Talking about Virat, he scored 529 runs in 12 innings of 13 matches in the tournament at an excellent average of 88.16. During this period, Virat has scored five half-centuries.

However, Virat was unlucky in scoring centuries in the tournament, where he could not complete the century even after scoring 96 runs. Like Rohit, Virat will also have to score more than fifty twice to overtake Dravid. Virat is fourth in the list of highest run-scorers for India in the tournament with 529 runs.
