VVS Laxman edges past Dravid to enter the top three on this list. Very, very, special Laxman registered a total run tally of 2434 at an average nearing 50 against the Aussies in 54 innings (29 matches). He has 12 fifties and 6 hundreds in the coveted test series alongside a highest score of 281 runs.
That heroic innings at Eden Gardens in 2001 is of the stuff that dreams are made of. Laxman’s heroics, alongside Dravid’s innings of 180, helped India overhaul Australia’s 274-run lead and script a 171-run win after following on.
