Top 10 Indian Test batsmen of all time

Test cricket has seen many great cricketers since its inception. And a lot of those great cricketers are Indians. India has produced some of the finest batsmen over the years. Let us look at the 10 best batsmen among them.I have ranked them by considering three parameters:Consistency – Batting consistency throughout a career.Statistics – The total number of runs that he has put up in his career.Reliability – How dependable he was when his team needed him. Each parameter is rated on a scale of 1 to 10 for every player and the composite score (total sum of the three parameters) is determined to arrive at the final ranking. Disclaimer: These are the top 10 Indian Test batsmen in my opinion. If your opinion reflects anything different, you are welcome to share it in the comments below.

#10 Polly Umrigar

Composite score: 8.3+8.4+8.4 = 25.1

Test career: 1948-1962

A iconic figure from the late 1940s to early 1960s, Polly Umrigar became the first Indian batsman to score a double hundred in Test Cricket. Unfortunately, he mostly fell on the losing side whenever he shined with the bat. By the time he retired in 1962, he held batting records for most runs and most hundreds by an Indian until 1978 when some guy named Sunil Gavaskar broke those records.
