The ongoing test series between India and England is turning out to be a cracker of a contest with India winning the 3rd test. The scoreline is still very much in favour of England but the momentum not so much.

The third test match was a clinical performance by the team, where the batting and fielding the two weaklings in the first two outings. The biggest positive to have come out of the match was India's batting, that too the likes of Rahane and Pujara who were among runs in the match.
So, on that note here is a look at the top 10 Indian Batsmen with most runs in England for India-
10.) Virat Kohli
