India has been quite dominant in Test cricket during the last few years. The Indian cricket team made it to the finals of both the WTC Finals so far. They finished runners-up in both the editions and also won some marquee series.
Unlike before, the Indian side has achieved success in overseas Test series also. One of the biggest reasons behind the Indian team’s success in the longest format of the game is that the middle-order batters have contributed big to the team’s success.
In this listicle today, we shall have a look at the top three middle-order batters who have recorded the most centuries for India in the Test format since the start of 2022.
3. Virat Kohli – 2
There was a time when Virat Kohli would score hundreds for fun in the longest format of the game. However, after the turn of the decade, the star Indian batter had a downfall in the red-ball cricket. He has made a fine comeback in recent months, recording a hundred against Australia in Ahmedabad and West Indies at the Queen’s Park Oval.
2. Rishabh Pant – 2
Rishabh Pant has been out of action since the start of 2023 due to his accident. The wicketkeeper batter still owns the second position on this elite list. The southpaw hit a century away from home against South Africa and followed it up with a ton against England in the rescheduled Test.
