West Indies was Dravid's third favourite opposition in the format, with 1348 runs in 38 innings. He only scored more runs against Sri Lanka (1662) and Pakistan (1899), and interestingly, his strike rate against WI was better than that of Ganguly.

(Sachin Tendulkar's stats vs WI in ODIs)

Tendulkar first played them in October 1991 and scored his first fifty against them a couple of months later in Brisbane. He scored 77(127), when no other batter got over 28 runs, showing early signs of greatness against a fierce bowling attack.
