The former Pakistani batsman, regarded as one of the greatest the country has ever produced, always saved his best for the arch-rivals. Out of his 19 international centuries, he scored nine against India, helping Pakistan win multiple Tests against the neighbours.

In his very first Test series against India in 1978, he scored 176 and 235 not out in the games at Faisalabad and Lahore respectively, the latter resulting in a resounding victory for Pakistan. During India's 1982-83 tour to Pakistan, Abbas scored six centuries (four in Tests and two in ODIs) and his reputation as India's nemesis was permanently sealed. One of Pakistan's most prolific batsman against the arch-rivals, he averaged a jaw-dropping 73.50 against India across a total of 34 games (Tests and ODIs).
