#4 Rahul Dravid

Rahul Dravid

Rahul Dravid is the second highest run-scorer and century-maker for India in Test cricket after Sachin Tendulkar. ‘The Wall’ scored a mammoth 13288 runs in Tests, with 36 hundreds and 63 fifties.

Dravid managed to score two hundreds in a Test twice in his illustrious 16-year career. The first such instance was at Seddon Park against New Zealand in 1999. In the first innings Dravid scored a flawless 190, and he followed that up with a classy 103 in the second essay. Dravid’s heroics ensured that India drew a high-scoring affair against the Kiwis.

The second occasion when Dravid scored two hundreds in the same Test was in the year 2005, against Pakistan at the iconic Eden Gardens. In the first innings Dravid scored 110 runs, and he followed that up with a knock of 135 in the second.

#3 Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has emerged as the monarch of modern-day cricket, and is viewed by many as the heir apparent to Sachin Tendulkar’s legacy.

In the year 2014 at the Adelaide Oval, Kohli used the willow in his hand like a magic wand and pulverized the Australian bowling attack. In the first innings he scored an ethereal 115, taking the attack to the likes of Mitchell Johnson and Nathan Lyon.

In the second essay, with India chasing an improbable 364, Kohli got India close to the finish line with an imperious 141. However, the batting maestro’s efforts went in vain as Australia won the match by 48 runs.
