3. V.V.S. Laxman – 134 Tests (8781 runs, average 45.97)
Playing in one of the most formidable batting line-ups Test cricket has ever seen, V.V.S. Laxman had the ability for sublime stroke-play and could score centuries from any position. He really came into his own as a batsman in the early-2000s when he dominated a couple of series against Australia – who were the world’s greatest team at the time. He and Tendulkar are the only two Indian batsmen to score 2000 runs or more against the Aussie. This video shows his match-winning score of 281.
