Ranking India's Top 10 Test match winners of all time
These great Indian cricketers will never be forgotten and their deeds will be remembered with reverence.
2.Sachin Tendulkar
This man was the batting deity to a nation obsessed with the sport. And, apart from the fact that Sachin Tendulkar is the only batsman to have scored over 15000(15921) Test runs, and also the only batsman to have scored more than 50(51) hundreds in the whites, there are some important factors that allow Tendulkar to rightfully stake his claim as one of the greatest match-winners for India in Test cricket.
The ‘Master Blaster’ did not average below 35 against any opposition in a Test match win. And, out of the 9 opponents that he played against, he averaged above 45 against 8 of them in a win for his country. The batting icon has also scored the most runs for India in a win (5946), and averages 61.93 in a Test win as against his career average of 53.78.
Undoubtedly, Tendulkar’s greatest knock in a Test win for India came in the year 2008, against a visiting England side at Chennai. The master batsman scored an unbeaten 103* in India’s second innings to allow India to chase down a target of 387 with 6 wickets to spare. Tendulkar retired from Test cricket in the year 2013, after playing his 200th Test at Mumbai against the West Indies.
