Michael Clarke, regarded as one of the most talented batters of his time, has great batting records against India. The New South Wales boy made his Test debut against India in 2006's Bangalore Test. He scored 151 batting at number six and helped his side win the first Test of the series. At the end of the series, Clarke had 400 Test runs to his name, only behind the series's best Damien Martyn (444 runs). 

In 22 Tests he scored just over 2000 runs averaging 53.92. He crossed the 100-run landmark seven-time which includes his best Test score of 329* as well. In the 2011-12 series, he turned into a beast, scoring 626 runs in 6 innings. Moreover, his great batting exploits and leadership qualities propelled him to captain the Austarlia side later on.

Clarke was more than a handy left-arm orthodox. In the 2004 Wankhede Test, he ran through Indian batting lineup in the second innings. His bowling produced 6 wickets for just 9 runs. He might have been underutilised as a bowler just for the fact that Australia didn't require him to roll arms, such was their bowling attack.
