Highest runs by an Indian player in a Test series in Australia

#2 Rahul Dravid: 619 runs (2003-04)

Rahul Dravid won the Adelaide test for India

Arguably, India's most equipped batsman in overseas conditions, Dravid used to play the ball very late and his footwork was also excellent. His feet used to get stuck in the crease very rarely as he was always either on back-foot or on front-foot.

Dravid was the lynchpin of Indian batting during 2003-04 Australian series. He scored a double hundred in Adelaide test match and won the match for India. India drew the series 1-1, which was a great achievement considering India's previous record in Australia.

During the series, Dravid scored 619 runs in 8 innings at an outstanding average of 123.80 with one century and three fifties.

#3 VVS Laxman: 494 runs (2003-04)

VVS Laxman loved playing against Australia

Laxman was elegance personified and he was an artist with the bat. He used to reserve his best for Australia, as his legendary knock of 281 runs came against Australia. During the 2003-04 series, he was India's second highest run-getter after Dravid.

During the series, Laxman scored 494 runs in 7 innings at an average of 82.33 with two centuries and one fifty.
