He reached the record in style, glancing Glenn McGrath off the second ball after lunch (he was not out at 3 at the interval) for a four to stand just ahead of Sir Donald Bradman of Australia (6996 runs) in the Test run-getters' list.

Only two other Indians -- Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar -- have crossed the 7000-run mark in Tests.

Earlier in the match, Dravid also became the leading catcher from the country other than a wicketkeeper. His tally, at the end of the Australian first innings, stood at 109, one better than Gavaskar's previous record aggregate of 108 catches in 125 Tests.

Rahul Dravid became third Indian after Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar and only the 25th batsman in Test cricket to aggregate 7,000 runs in Test cricket when his score reached 5 in India's second innings of Mumbai Test. Dravid was playing his 82nd Test and 141st innings.
