Trichromatic Posted August 22, 2018 Author Posted August 22, 2018 From top of my head 281 by Laxman 305 by Dravid at Adelaide (233 and 72) 96 by Laxman in SA 96 by Gavaskar 201 by Sehwag at Galle 309 by Sehwag v Pak 148 by Dravid in England 140+ by Gambhir to save the game in NZ 220 by Gavaskar against Eng in 4th in. Almost chased down target.
Gollum Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Both home and away? If that's the case not even top 10....we have a very rich batting legacy man.
sensible-indian Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 This is not even Kohli's top 5 test knocks. 1. Adelaide 2. Centurion 3. Edgbaston 4. Joberg 2013 first innings 5. 49 against NZ pacers on an uneven bounce pitch Lannister 1

Gollum Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Laxman Kolkata Dravid Kolkata Dravid Headingley Dravid Adelaide Sehwag Multan Dravid Rawalpindi Sehwag Galle Laxman Mohali Laxman Durban Sachin Cape Town See from the top of my head just 10 by Fab 4 alone in 2000s. If I invest some more time I can recollect a few more (eg Gambhir's Napier stonewalling or VVS 2006 Jo'berg........). Now if you consider the entire history of Indian cricket, we will easily find 30+ such batting performances. Kohli was magnificent here but not sure if this was conclusively better than Rahane/Vijay (Lord's green mamba) or Rahul's Bengaluru 2017 feat. * that, I'd argue that Kohli's performances in 2013 Jo'berg, 2014 Adelaide and Edgbaston this series were qualitatively superior.

Sgattick10 Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 I just love Viru's 195 against Aussies at Melbourne man... velu 1
rkt.india Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 You consider conditions and series situation probably one of the best knock as good as RD and VVS in 2001. 200 runs in coming from behind test win. If those are top two, this match was top 3. Cricketics, fedex and raki05 3

Few years back, if were were 2-0 behind overseas, a whitewash was a certainty. express bowling 1
Temujin Khaghan Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 want a daddy ton from Kohli... like a 275 - 320 ish score... hope the other morons co-operate... need pujara, rahane to dig deep at the other end... Cricketics and express bowling 1 1

Adi BB Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 His knock in the first innings was a crucial one and a match winning one because he knew at 82/3 that he had to take the whole team's responsibility on his own and did that job to perfection .but both the innibgs are not even in his top 5 knocks because he didn't have to face the new ball or come at 20/2 type of situations velu and raki05 2

Our test team before dhoni's 8-0 era also used to comeback from behind in a test series , England 2002 ,Australia 2007 ,saf 2010 are a few examples . gotta say the character that this team has shown after the lords hammering is quite remarkable but we've got to remember this England side ain't a good front runner . they somehow let loose of the foot on the opposition's throat and allow them space to comeback ,be it against aus in ashes 2015 ,pak in 2016, Windies 2017 ,saf 2017 ,nzl 2015 etc etc raki05 1

I looked at the conditions and situations before listing them. here conditions and pressure was far higher than most of those. Knocks that win you game are always rated higher especially overseas. Multan, Rawalpindi all those were still in subcontinent and flat pitches. I will always rate a SENA country knock higher than them. Viru's 201 against SL was great because of the conditions and bowling attack. Same in this case. An attack of Anderson and Broad in these conditions is as good as Murli-Mendis in those conditions. Here too we were 80/3 and were going the same path of first two tests, could easily have been dismissed below 200 in first innings.

This team does not.
