6 Greatest Test knocks by Indian batsmen in this millennium

#2 Rahul Dravid 233 vs Australia

Rahul Dravid has performed well in overseas conditions

Rahul Dravid had been one of the fulcrums of the Indian batting line-up in the past two decades. He consistently scored runs all over the world and won matches single-handedly. His strong defensive technique and the ability to stay long at the crease were the hallmarks of his batting.

Dravid played an amazing inning in the second Test against Australia at Adelaide. The Aussies had posted a daunting first innings score of 556 runs and India looked in deep trouble with the score reading 85 for 4.

It seemed that the Indian team would find difficult to save the follow-on after the middle-order collapse, but resilient Dravid was not ready to throw in the towel yet.

The Karnataka batsman along with VVS Laxman built a huge partnership of 305 runs and helped the team in getting close to the first innings total. Dravid went on to score an impressive double century and was the last man to get dismissed on 233.

With the help of Dravid's innings, India took the lead in the four-match Test series by 1-0. He also played a crucial role in the second innings and scored unbeaten 72 while chasing a difficult target of 233.

Dravid's innings is probably the best innings in overseas condition played by any Indian overseas batsmen.
