Most runs by Indian captain on an away tour

#4 Mohammed Azharuddin in England, 1990 (544 runs in 5 matches including two hundreds)

Mohammed Azharuddin's batting, when in full flow, was like a poetry. His lazy elegance coupled with immaculate wrists established him as one of the most stylish players from the subcontinent.

It was mainly Graham Gooch who stole all the limelight with his astounding triple hundred (333) at Lord's in India's tour of the English in 1990, however, Azhar managed to do the impossible: he upstaged the triple hundred with a pristine hundred (121) full of wristy flicks and the typical subcontinent shenanigans.

The innings couldn't prevent a loss for the tourists, but it laid the forbearance of what was to come in the succeeding matches. Azhar scored another hundred (179), an innings full of valour and resilience that helped draw the second test. In the five matches of the tour, Azhar scored an outstanding 544 runs that included two centuries, his best score being 179.
