5 West Indian cricketers who always did well against India in Tests

2) Garry Sobers

Only Sunil Gavaskar has scored more centuries in India-West Indies Tests than Sobers

Sir Garfield Sobers is undeniably one of the greatest all-rounders to have ever played the game. His tally of over 8,000 runs and more than 200 wickets are numbers even certain specialists find difficult to achieve. As someone who could do just about everything on the pitch, there can be little doubt of his cricketing genius.

At the wrong end of his genius, especiall with the bat were India on more than one occasion. 1,920 runs in just 18 matches at an average of 83.5 with 8 centuries and 7 fifties tell you a story much better than any words can. He was absolutely brutal against India and almost always delivered.

Only Sunil Gavaskar with 13 centuries has scored more centuries in Tests between India and West Indies than Garry Sobers. Among all batsmen who have played at least 5 Tests, only one player has a higher average for a West Indian against India than Sobers.
