Top 10 Batsmen With Highest Batting Average In Tests In India

You would be shocked to learn that neither Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, nor Sunil Gavaskar make the list of the top 10 batsmen with the highest batting average in Tests in India.

Scoring runs in India in Test cricket has always been a challenge for visiting batters, because of India’s strong spin attacks and the spin-friendly surfaces. But some overseas batters, in their few opportunities on Indian shores, did manage to do extremely well and even have better records than some of the prominent Indian players. For example, Pakistan’s Younis Khan in his 6 Test matches in India has more centuries than India’s KL Rahul, who has played 17 Tests at home.

In this article, we will look at the top 10 batsmen with the highest batting average in Tests in India taking the criteria of a minimum of 10 innings played in this country.

In the top 10 batsmen with the highest batting average in Tests in India (minimum 10 innings) there are only three Indian batters.

Who is the batsman with highest batting average in Tests in India?

The list is topped by Zimbabwe’s Andy Flower. In 5 Tests in India between 1993 and 2002, Flower amassed 820 runs at an average of 117, notching up 3 centuries and 4 fifties, including a double hundred in Nagpur.

Next on the list is West Indies’ Gary Sobers – between 1958 and 1967, Sobers averaged 99.88 as he cracked 3 centuries and 5 half-centuries in 8 Tests in India. Sobers is followed by England’s Ken Barrington, who averaged 96 in 6 Tests in India.

Mayank Agarwal

Younis Khan is next with an average of 76. The former Pakistani captain notched up 3 hundreds in 6 Tests, including a score of 267. Former West Indies captain Clive Lloyd hit 4 Test tons in India and averaged 75.

Among Indians who have played a minimum of 10 Test knocks at home, Vijay Hazare has the highest average – 69.56, followed by Mayank Agarwal (69.07), and Rishabh Pant (63.90).
