Top 10 Test hundreds by Indian batsmen in England

With the overcast conditions in England naturally aiding swing bowling in addition to the grass-covering over the decks, the batsmen must be equipped with a solid technique and have greater powers of concentration to be consistently successful. Touring the Old Blighty since the early 1900s, India finally managed to register their first series victory over England in England only in 1971.Here is a look at the top 10 hundreds by Indian batsmen in England. 

#10 106 Virender Sehwag, Nottingham, 2002

India’s opening batsman Virender Sehwag struck a fine hundred on the first day of the second Test, at Nottingham, of India’s 2002 tour of England. The right-hander did not look to hold back and started playing shots inspite of the overcast conditions assisting swing bowling. 

India were coming into the Test match on the back of a defeat at Lord’s. Sehwag batted for 59 overs on the first morning at Nottingham and was finally dismissed for a 183-ball 106.  

India managed to post a healthy first innings total of 357 and went on to draw the Test, thanks to a Rahul Dravid’s century (115) in the second innings. The drawn result kept India’s hopes of winning the Test series alive.
