Vijay's 144 at Brisbane was one of the best knocks by Asian openers overseas. Too bad we collapsed and our bowlers bowled like retards in first innings.

There are many knocks. sehwag 200 odd vs srilanka was good too. mentioning it because this isnt covered.
That was great. I was more subconsciously toying with outside subcontinent knocks though, when I made my post

Vishy 114 in that historic MCG test (1981), where India fought against heavy odds to win the test is one of the best knocks. India successfully defended a fourth innings target of 143 after conceding a first innings lead of nearly 200. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63281.html
In some respects, this match was similar to Kolk 2001. This was the first time in the history of Indian cricket that they won an away match after conceding a massive first innings lead. When both teams had played out their first innings, only one result appeared possible - a massive Australian win. Even that score of 237 looked impossible at one stage. But India turned around the fortunes in the second innings inspite of numerous problems - three Indian bowlers were having serious injuries - Kapil was so badly injured that he could not bowl at all for a day when India needed him to. Yadav and Doshi were playing inspite of fractures. Ghavri was the only fit bowler, yet India shot out the Aussies for 83 to seal the match by 60 runs.

Of the ones I have watched, I liked Sachin's knocks in the 1999 Australia tour.. If the OP meant the ones which lead to wins, then Dravid's 147 in headingley rates very high
