5 Indian batsmen who have tormented New Zealand

#2 Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar in action against New Zealand

India's greatest ever batsman might have scored a golden duck in his very first game against New Zealand in a Test match in Christchurch back in 1990, but for the rest of his career, he made it a point to score heavily against this particular opposition. He played 66 matches against them and had a combined average across those Tests and one-day internationals of 46.45.

In total, he scored 9 centuries, 5 of which were scored in one-day internationals while the rest were in Test matches. He also scored 16 half centuries against them. His fondness for their attack was evident when Tendulkar scored his much-awaited maiden Test match double century (217) against New Zealand at Ahmedabad in 1999.

In the same year, he scored a memorable 186 not out against them in a one day international that remained his highest ODI score for many years. He was one batsman who really tormented New Zealand teams for more than two decades.
