Five Batsmen who devoured Indian Bowling

#1 Andy Flower (Zimbabwe)

Talk of the greatest wicketkeeper-batsman and Andy Flower’s name will inevitably pop up in the discussion. Zimbabwe’s finest batsman averages above fifty in Test cricket and is only second on the list of most Test centuries scored by a gloveman.

The batsman has however shown a remarkable liking for the Indian bowling attack. In the nine Tests that he has played against India, Flower has scored 1138 runs at an astonishing average of 94.83 with three centuries and seven fifties. His incredible 90-plus average versus India is almost the double of his career average (51.54).

Andy Flower shone the brightest in a desperate situation that needed a miracle. In the Nagpur, 2000 Test, Zimbabwe following on needed to bat out five sessions to ensure a draw. Andy Flower battled unbeaten for nine hours and scored a magnificent 232* to deny India a win.

With many such performances, Andy Flower time and again proved to be the toughest thorn in India’s way.
