Indian players with most matches against a single team

There is no disputing the fact that India have almost always had one of the most stacked cricketing schedules over the past many generations. There have also been multiple instances of the same opposition playing India on more than one occasion or event - regardless of the format. The growing magnitude of fixtures means cricketers in the side getting more opportunities against the same opposition.

Talent in India is diverse and can be easily nurtured, provided adequate resources are provided. There are countless Indian cricketers whose careers have spanned over a long period, mainly due to their consistency in terms of delivering via performances, coupled with their hunger to grow and provide their all during crunch situations. More often than not, the aforementioned cricketers who have played for the nation for years and years do tend to play the same opposition a multiple number of times, and have slowly but surely done well with time.
