Andy Flower - ZimbabweThe West Indies batter is followed by the Zimbabwean great Andy Flower, who averaged 94.83 vs India. The current RCB head coach played 18 innings against India, where he racked up 1138 runs, featuring three tons and seven fifties, with a best of 232*. The Chevron legend always had a great time while playing India in the longest format. Although he played the subcontinent side on six different occasions, his best came during the 2000-01 series in India, where he smacked an unbeaten 232* at Vidarbha. Notably, he smacked an unbeaten 183 at Delhi on the same tour, and two half-centuries in the rest of the innings. 3. Younis Khan - PakistanThe third on the list is Pakistan's Younis Khan, who is also the only batter from his country with over 10K runs in the Test format. The middle-order giant was known for smashing quality bowling attacks with ease, but his best came against the arch-rivals, India. Due to the geopolitical differences between the two countries, Younis played in just three Test series against India. Interestingly, he racked up over 500 runs in two of them, while he scored 260 runs in his third series, which included an unbeaten 107. Against India, he registered 1321 runs in 17 innings, averaging 88.06, thanks to his five tons and four fifties.4. Zaheer Abbas - PakistanThere is another Pakistani batter on the list, apart from Younis Khan, and he is the very special Zaheer Abbas. Out of 5062 Test runs, 1740 came against India, which were 34.37% of his overall runs. Unlike Younis, the senior statesman played five series against the neighbouring country. In his first series against them, Abbas went big and racked up 583 runs, including 235 not out. He had two more marvellous series against India. In total, he hit six tons and three half-centuries against the opposition, with his average reading 87.00 vs India. 5. Garry Sobers - West IndiesThe last man on the list is the greatest all-rounder of all time, Sir Garfield Sobers, who passed away earlier in July this year. The great man loved playing against the subcontinent teams, as evidenced by his average in the 80s against both India and Pakistan. Sobers was involved in four different series against India. He first played them in 1958-1959 and last featured against them in 1970-71. Moreover, he did better against India than he did on previous occasions. Overall, he scored a whopping 1920 Test runs in 30 innings against India, averaging 83.47. He tonked the Indian bowlers for eight centuries and seven half-centuries, with a best score of 198.
