India’s Players With Highest Individual Scores Away From Home In Tests

Shubman Gill scored 269 runs against England in the Edgbaston Test and made his name in the record books. After this big knock, he is now among the 5 Indian batters who have scored the highest individual scores away from home in Test cricket.

Let’s look at those top 5 knocks where Indian players made their biggest scores in away conditions.

5. Sachin Tendulkar – 248* vs Bangladesh

Sachin Tendulkar made the fifth-highest individual score by an Indian in an away Test match with an unbeaten 248 against Bangladesh in Dhaka in 2004. India had given away 184 runs in the first innings, but came back strongly with the bat and scored 526 runs. This was possible because of Sachin’s not-out knock where he dominated all the bowlers.

4. Virender Sehwag – 254 vs Pakistan (2006)

In the 2006 Lahore Test, Pakistan had made 679 runs in the first innings. Sehwag opened for India and gave a strong reply. He scored 254 runs in just 247 balls and handled the pressure very well. India managed to reach 410 runs and the match ended in a draw, but Sehwag’s knock was unforgettable.

3. Shubman Gill – 269 vs England (2025)

In the second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, Shubman Gill played the best innings of his Test career. On the Edgbaston pitch in 2025 in a test match between England and India, he scored 269 runs from 387 balls against England. His knock helped India post a total of 587 runs in the first innings. This performance put him among the top modern players.

2. Rahul Dravid – 270 vs Pakistan (2004)

In April 2004, Rahul Dravid played a calm and technical innings against Pakistan in 2004 in Rawalpindi Test. Pakistan had scored only 224 runs in their first innings. After that, Dravid made 270 runs in 495 balls and helped India score 600 runs. This knock showed his strong technique and patience.

1. Virender Sehwag – 309 vs Pakistan (2004)

On the top of the list again is Virender Sehwag with his famous 309-run knock that he played in Multan in April 2004. India batted first and declared their innings at 675 runs. Sehwag scored a triple century in just 375 balls. This was one of the best moments of his career and people still remember it as the day he became the “Sultan of Multan”.

Even today, when we talk about the highest individual scores by Indian away from home in Tests, these five knocks are always on the list. These innings not only changed the course of matches but also helped make India’s overseas record stronger.
