Rahul Dravid became only the second batsman in Test cricket to score 13,000 runs achieving the feat on the third day of the third Test against the West Indies at theWankhede stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.
Dravid got to the milestone when he reached 21 with a superb cover drive off West Indies captain Darren Sammy that went for four.
The 38-year-old Dravid, who scored 1258 runs in 15 Tests at an average of 53 this season, pulled off six hundreds during the year.
Dravid was the star of India's disastrous tour of England earlier this year, which cost India the top spot in the ICC Test rankings after they were whitewashed 0-4.
Only Dravid stood up and hit up three centuries as rest of the Indian batting tumbled.
Earlier this week, Dravid reached a commendable milestone of becoming the highest run-scorer in the current year surpassing England's Ian Bell.
Dravid scored his 36th Test century in the second Test against the West Indies in Kolkata.
