5 players with the worst 50 to 100 conversion of all time in Tests 

#2 VVS Laxman - 23.29%

VVS Laxman

Not many would have expected VVS Laxman’s name in this list. He was India’s crisis man. Every time India were in trouble, it was Laxman who would put his hand up and bailed them out of trouble. But he is one of the poorest 50 to 100 converters.

Laxman is remembered for the majestic 281 he scored to help India script a memorable come-from-behind victory at the Eden Gardens against a rampant Australia. Before that innings, the Hyderabadi batsman had had a start-stop career. He averaged only 27.06 in 35 innings. But that one innings changed it all.

Laxman has scored tons of runs for India but not many of those were converted to 100+ scores. Most of his memorable knocks have come when India were in trouble, especially in the second innings. No doubt he was called a second-innings specialist.

Laxman crossed 50 on 17 occasions but could only convert 17 of those to three-figure scores. Thus, with a conversion rate of 23.29%, Laxman has the second worst conversion rate.
