#3 Rahul Dravid

Rahul Dravid

The Wall of Indian cricket was no short of a nightmare for the mighty Aussies during his stay in the middle. Dravid was a completely different cricketer during India's tour of Australia in 2003-04, something which India had never witnessed before in the games played against the Kangaroos.

His innings of 233 against the Aussies of that era is often quoted as one of the quintessential knocks the game has ever witnessed.

In 33 Tests, he averaged 38.68 and accumulated 2166 runs with the help of 2 centuries and 13 half-centuries. He was dismissed without scoring on merely 3 occasions. Truly, one of the finest the Indian cricket has ever witnessed.

#2 VVS Laxman

Well, while talking about the encounters against the Australians, can Laxman's name be far behind? Certainly no.

VVS Laxman remains one of the finest India's cricketers who enjoyed playing against the Aussies.

His knock of 281 against Waugh & Co. during the Border-Gavaskar Test at Kolkata is rated amongst the finest knocks in the history of Test cricket. In fact, he played with the same intent and determination in almost each one of his games against the Kangaroos in the red-ball cricket.

In 29 Tests, Laxman amassed 2434 runs at a jaw-dropping average of 49.67, with century and half-century tally of 6 and 12 respectively.

#1 Sachin Tendulkar

Without an iota of doubt, Master Blaster occupies the top position in the list of Indian cricketers to have scored the most number of runs against the Kangaroos in red-ball cricket.

His innings of 241* against the mighty Aussies during the nerve-wracking Border-Gavaskar trophy of 2003-04, helped India draw the final Test thereby saving themselves from the clutches of defeat at the hands of the Australian unit.

In 39 matches against Australia, the Mumbaikar aggregated a whopping 3630 runs at an average of 55.00 with the century and half-century tally at 11 and 16 respectively. He was dismissed on a duck on a total of 4 occasions.
