5 – Rahul Dravid (146 in Oval, 2011)
In 2011, India had a terrible tour in England and lost a series of 4-0. But one man was still fighting and it was Rahul Dravid, “Wall”. He was the best Indian Batsman in this series and scored three centuries. His undefeated 146 in the oval was strange because he opened the shifts and remained until the end. Face to face 266 balls and hit 20 four. Although India lost the match with shifts and the series was a selection, David’s knocking was a reminder of his class and determination.

2 – Virat Kohli (149 in Edgbaston, 2018)

When Kohli came when India fought at 54/2, he faced Anderson and Broad and fought as a real leader. He hit 22 four and six and kept almost one hand alive in the match. India lost the test of only 31 runs and series 4-1, but Kohli’s knocking is still reminded as one of his best overseas.

Because of the Rahane century, India managed 295 runs and later won a match of 95 runs. This victory at Lord is still one of the most famous Indian overseas victories.
