Top Five Best Innings by Indians in Australia: There isn&#8217;t a bigger challenge in cricket than scoring runs on the fast, bouncy and intricate pitches. One of those lively pitches producers in international cricket is Australia. The conditions and pitches demand twice the amount of caution, technique and application as much as the flat sub-continent wickets do. But India is one of those countries which take’s pride in the rich heritage of possessing supremely talented batsmen. And over the years we have been privileged to witness some of the finest knocks by the Indians on the Australian soil and since India is touring Down under let’s have a look at the top 5 Innings Indians played in Australia.

5.Virender Sehwag – 195

First morning of the Boxing Day Test Match is always special and Virender Sehwag made the boxing day of 2003 ever more special for Indians fans by hitting a breathtaking 195 on the first day of the Test match. He left the ball excellently in the first season when it was posing all sorts of questions but once pitch eased out he made Australians chase the leather all around the park throughout the day. He hit 5 sixes and 25 fours in this knock and got out in the typical Sehwag fashion attempting a six on 195. We rank it as the fifth best knock by an Indian in Australia.

4.Sachin Tendulkar – Sydney  241

Sachin Tendulkar wasn’t enjoying the best of tours of Australia prior to this match and cover drive was a shot which was getting him out on several occasions in the first 3 Test matches. He made up his mind to delete that shot from his shots book and he executed that strategy to the precision. In the knock of 241 he hardly played a cover drive which personified the fortitude of the man. India went on to make a mammoth total of 705 however this total wasn’t good enough to win the match as Australia managed to draw the Test match. Result took the sheen out of the knock but in spite of it this knock will remain in the memory of every Indian cricket aficionado. Thus, this innings from Sachin remains as the 4th best knock by an Indian in Australia.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-7993" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Virat-Kohli1.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli on captaincy debut constructed his career best knock of 141 at adelaide.

Now this one is the most recent knock and the one which will be talked about for years to come. Australia set a daunting target of 364 and the pitch was doing all sorts of mischief, the ball was turning, bouncing obnoxiously and pacers were getting the ball to reverse. In came Virat Kohli the stand in India skipper on his captaincy debut and started playing like a dream. He clobbered bowlers in every nook and corner of the ground. It felt like he was batting on a day 3 track, which plays completely true to the batsmen not on a 5th day, questions asking track. Unfortunately he could not take the side home and fell at a crucial stage in the match attempting a six against Nathan Lyon but the sheer audacity, fearlessness with which Virat batted, showed in this innings will make this knock immortal.  With the kind of impact this 141 has not only on the match but on the morale of the entire team we rate it as high as the 3rd best knock by an Indian in Australia.

2.Sachin Tendulkar &#8211; Perth 114

There are moments in life which turns the career of an individual, for Sachin Tendulkar it was this Perth knocks which made him the champion cricketer that he was. This innings gave him the self-belief, confidence that he can achieve anything in the game of cricket. In his innings of 114 Sachin who was only 19-year-old then brought two of the finest bowlers of their times  Craig McDermot and Merv Hughes to their knees on one of the fastest pitch in this world. This has to be one of the best knocks by an outsider in Australia and we rank it the second best. Sachin came to Australia as a schoolboy wunderkind and this knock graduated him. Many connoisseurs consider Sachin’s mercurial effort of 114 as the best he has ever played just because of the alien conditions and the WACA track.

1.Rahul Dravid- Adelaide 233

Australia put up a mammoth total of 556 in the first innings and India were tattering at 85-4 in the reply. The threats of follow on was looming on team’s head but Mr. Dependable, the wall of India’s batting line-up Rahul Dravid had different ideas. He played an absolutely astonishing innings of 233 which not only took India out of the trouble but  also put them into a commanding position which eventually resulted in one of the finest overseas victories.  Thus we regard this as the best knock by an Indian batsman in Australia. This sumptuous knock came at a time when the time was in huge trouble and the impact it had on the outcome of the match stands this knock apart from the rest.
