Rahul Dravid's invincible record in West Indies 

Team India head coach and former batsman Rahul Dravid has an invincible Test record in the Caribbean and has made a total of 1511 runs from 17 Tests. Sunil Gavaskar stands right behind him and has scored 1404 runs from 13 Tests. The main point to look out for here is that veteran batsman Sachin Tendulkar is not in the top five and stands at number seven with 620 runs from 10 Tests.

Rohit and Virat's average performance in Tests since last year 

Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma and batsman Virat Kohli are one of the best batsmen of world cricket and have performed extremely well for the Indian cricket team. However, both players have not had the best of times in Test cricket in the last year. Rohit on one end has only made a total of 300 runs in 6 Tests at an average of 37.50 with just one hundred. Virat on the other end has performed the same as Rohit and has made 405 runs from 8 Tests at an average of 36.81. 

Both the batsmen are in the last phase of their career and they will aim to sharpen their blades in the upcoming two-match Test series against West Indies. Both the batters have the capability to breach head coach Rahul Dravid's record of most runs by an Indian in the Caribbean.
