Rahul had already proved that he had the technique needed to counter the South African quickies on the hard and bouncy tracks when he was the lone batsman to stand firm when he made 27 all out of a paltry Indian total of 66 in the 2nd inns of the 1st test at Durban.
Rahul was rightly adjudged the man of the match and he had proved that finally India had a batsman who was not shy of facing quick bowlers on seamer friendly tracks and he had already formed the reputation of being a good player away from home.
Rahul also played well in the second inns when India chasing a modest victory target of 235 were in trouble at 37/4 and his inns of 44 helped the Indians salvage the situation somewhat.

Rahul is miles ahead of Saurav when it comes to fielding, his fitness level too has been impeccable in the way he has played all his 91 matches on the trot and still going strong.

 What should Rahul Dravid do? - Sify.com
Some agreed that using Dravid as a wicket-keeper was a smart move, but in the same vein also suggested that by taking in a batsman of the calibre of Dinesh Mongia, the move was negated.
Dravid's first tryst with wicket-keeping was when he stepped in for an injured Nayan Mongia in 2000.
During this period, Dravid's strike rate in the ODIs was hovering around the 60s and this could have forced him to look at contributing in ways other than batting.
