Top 5 Australian cricketers who have great Test record against India

2. Ricky Ponting 

Ricky Ponting's name would still be haunting Indian cricket fans from the early 2000s. His sheer impact not only as a batter but also as a captain was tremendous. The fierce competitor from Tasmania scored 2555 runs in 29 Tests, making India his favourite Test nation to score runs against. He scored close to 20 percent of his Test runs against India which speaks volumes about his dominance. 

Although he has batted 51 times in Tests, he scored just 8 hundred and 12 half-centuries. But whenever he crossed the 100-run mark, he tried to make it big. Three double-hundreds coming against a single opposition is a huge achievement for a Test cricketer. One of those came in the last Test match he played against India back in 2012. 

The Australian who used to bat at number three for the Kangaroos, had cricketing instincts which could change the fortune of the match. He used to get his on-field decisions right most of the time. Though Ponting won only twice against India in the 11 Tests that he captained against the Asian side.
