South Africa vs India: Top 5 Test Knocks By Indian Batters In South Africa

South Africa vs India: Some very prominent names complete the list of the top knocks by Indian batters in an innings in Test matches in South Africa.

The Indian tour of South Africa is set to begin with a three-match Test series at the SuperSport Park in Centurion from December 26. The Boxing Day Test will be followed by the second Test at The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg from January 3 while the last Test will be played from January 11 at Newlands in Cape Town. In India's previous tours of South Africa, some brilliant individual performances have taken centre stage. Players like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Virat Kohli, Murali Vijay and Ajinkya Rahane have stood strong on several occasions against a fiery South African pace attack. However, despite putting on a good show with decent individual performances, India are yet to win a series in South Africa.

Here is a list of some of the top knocks by Indian batters in Tests in South Africa:

Cheteshwar Pujara (153 runs off 270 balls)

In the 2018 Johannesburg Test, Cheteshwar Pujara found a way to stamp his authority on the match despite skipper Kohli making a century and a half-century in the same match. Pujara stroked his way to an epic 153 runs off 270 balls as India drew the opening match.

Virat Kohli (119 off 181 balls)
