Long before Rahul Dravid was immortalized for showing that he too had the ability to rip his head off, he was immortalized for his ability to scream as well as header. The image of how he did it when he triumphed in Adelaide almost 20 years ago is part of the history of Indian cricket. It was only the fourth time they had won a Test match in Australia – and their first since 1981 – and they had to come from behind to do it. To be precise, there are 556 tracks behind. But Dravid continued to negate this by tiring Australia out not once but twice. Finally, after 12-and-a-half hours in the warehouse, scoring more points than he had ever done or would ever do in a single Test, it made perfect sense that he would be there at the end, basking in the Adelaide sun, gritting his teeth. , with arms raised high, the personification of triumph.
