Dravid's tryst with greatness at the Adelaide Oval

Next in the list is the cricketer whose demeanour and persistence to bat out the ugly spells earned his nickname as 'The Wall' - Rahul Dravid.

In a glittering career that spanned over sixteen years, Dravid played a plethora of memorable innings that are pinned into the corridors of the cricketing folklore forever. However, his finest hour in international cricket came at the Adelaide Oval in the Border Gavaskar Trophy of 2003-04. India had been reduced to 4-85 in response to Australia's 556. When Rahul Dravid decided to matters in his hands, what ensued was a marathon knock of 233 that spanned over eight hours.

Dravid had endured a torrid tour down under the last time he was there, and post that he'd approached Aussie captain Steve Waugh on mental toughness in a bid to get an extra edge,and when he square-cut McGill to bring up the win for India on Australian soil after 22 years, his journey towards achieving that extra edge was complete.
