Fab 5: The legendary Test batting line-up of India in the 2000s

Sehwag could demolish the bowling line-ups in a session or two.

#2 Rahul Dravid

Dravid stood between India and defeat on numerous occasions.

The Wall, as he was popularly called, is among the best test batsmen to have played the game. He could keep leaving the balls and frustrating the bowlers the whole day.

Rahul Dravid had a textbook-perfect technique and an unmatchable temperament to go with it. His appetite for scoring runs is evident from the fact that he hit 5 double-centuries in his career.

Rahul Dravid's most memorable inning came against Australia in 2003. He scored 233 in the first innings followed by a 72* in the second innings that led India to a historic win in Adelaide.

He remained the backbone of Indian batting for a good 15-year period.
