Scoring the most hundreds against India is the dream of every overseas batter because the Indian cricket team is one of the strongest teams in the world. India are among the few nations to have won the ICC Cricket World Cup in 60 overs and 50 overs, ICC Champions Trophy, ICC T20 World Cup and also the ICC Test Mace for finishing number one in the year-end rankings.
The aforementioned achievements have only been possible because Team India have been home to some of the best bowlers in the world. Earlier, spin was the main strength of India’s bowling, but of late, the Indian nation has produced many incredible fast bowlers.
As mentioned ahead, every player wants to own the record for the most hundreds against India in international cricket. At the moment, two batters from Australia hold this record jointly. Here’s a list of the two names:
1. Steve Smith has the most hundreds against India among active players
Among all the active cricketers in the world right now, former Australian captain Steve Smith has the highest tons against the Indian team. Smith scored his 14th ton against India while playing in the ICC World Test Championship Final earlier today at the Kennington Oval in London.
Smith is known for bringing his ‘A’ game to the table whenever he plays against Team India. He scored 95 runs on the first day of the WTC Final 2023 and then completed his ton with two boundaries today.
2. Ricky Ponting

Former Australian cricket team captain Ricky Ponting also smashed 14 centuries while playing international cricket against the Indian team. Ponting had a great record when playing versus India, and the fans will never forget his century in the 2003 World Cup Final. He also fought like a lone warrior and scored a hundred in the 2011 World Cup quarterfinal against India at Ahmedabad.
