In the room full of hard strikers like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Virender Sehwag, there lived a man who believed in playing orthodox cricketing shots. The man who made the bowlers struggle for his wicket- Rahul Sharad Dravid. He was born into a Marathi family and was raised in Bengaluru.
Dravid always believed in answering his opponents with his bat rather than getting involved in verbal spats. So far, he is still the best and most complete Test batsman India has ever produced. From batting all day long to showcasing masterful strokes, Dravid never took a step back. He was often referred to as "Mr. Dependable" and "India`s Wall" for his extraordinary batting performances.
