Five Indian Cricketers Who Excelled With Multiple Test Centuries Against Bangladesh

IND vs BAN 2024: Team India is set to face Bangladesh in a two-match Test series at home. The first Test will take place on September 19 in Chennai, followed by the second Test on September 27 in Uttar Pradesh.

Scoring a century in Test cricket is a significant achievement. Unlike shorter formats, it requires hours of concentration and skill at the crease. Against Bangladesh, five Indian players have managed to score multiple centuries in Tests.

Sachin Tendulkar, the leading run-scorer in international cricket, has been exceptional against Bangladesh. In 7 Tests, he scored 820 runs at an average of 136.66. He has five centuries against them, with his highest being an unbeaten 248 in Dhaka in 2004, which helped India win by an innings and 140 runs.

Rahul Dravid, known as "The Wall," was a key player for India in Tests. Against Bangladesh, he scored 560 runs in 7 Tests at an average of 70. This includes three centuries, with his highest score being 160 in Chattogram in 2005, contributing to India's victory.

Virat Kohli Centuries vs Bangladesh

Virat Kohli has also excelled against Bangladesh in Tests. In six matches, he amassed 437 runs at an average of 54.62, including two centuries. His top score is 204 against Bangladesh in Hyderabad in 2017, where India won by an innings and 208 runs.

Senior batters like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are expected to lead India's batting unit. While Kohli has performed well against Bangladesh, Rohit Sharma aims to improve his record. He has scored only 33 runs in three Tests against them and will look to add more runs this time.

Gautam Gambhir Slammed Two Test Tons vs Bangladesh

Gautam Gambhir was known for anchoring India's innings during his career. He performed well against Bangladesh, scoring 381 runs in four Tests at an average of 76.20. This includes two centuries, with his highest being 139 in Chattogram in 2004, leading India to win by an innings and 83 runs.

Murali Vijay's Performance Against Bangladesh

Murali Vijay was one of India's technically sound openers. He found success against Bangladesh too, scoring 295 runs in three Tests at an average of 73.75. This includes two centuries, with his highest being 150 in Fatullah in 2015; the match ended in a draw.

The upcoming series will see if these players can continue their impressive performances or if new stars will emerge for India against Bangladesh.
