IND vs ENG 2021: Top 3 Indian batsmen in the current team with most Test tons against England
Over the last few years, quite a few batsmen from India have performed in scintillating fashion against England. While Sachin Tendulkar still holds the record for the most centuries (7) against the side, there have been three cricketers in the current setup who have a good chance of breaking his record.
Here's a quick look at the other former batsmen with the most tons against England.
We take a look at three players who are still active and have the most number of Test centuries against Joe Root & Co.
#1 Cheteshwar Pujara - 5 centuries
The Saurashtra batsman might have had an inconsistent run so far in the series, but he does lead the pack of current crop of Indian batsmen with the most hundreds against England. Pujara has five centuries against the side and has 1699 runs at an average of 43.83. He has had scores of 91 and 61 in the series so far against Joe Root and his men.
#2 India skipper, Virat Kohli - 4 centuries
The India skipper has four centuries against England. Although he has been hundred-less since his last Test against Bangladesh in 2019, he leads the list for most hundreds in the current group of Indian players. Kohli has stacked up 1960 Test runs against England at an average of 43.55. He has notched up two fifties against the opposition so far in this series.
#3 KL Rahul- 3 centuries
