4 instances of 3 Indians scoring hundreds in an innings outside Asia ft. ENG vs IND 2025

An Indian batter scoring a Test hundred outside Asia is always considered a special feat. Several Indian batters have achieved this feat in the past and continue to do so as well.

While Indian batters scoring hundreds in Tests outside Asia is special, it is even more special where multiple batters from the country have scored hundreds in a single innings in a Test outside Asia.

In the ongoing first Test between England and India at Headingley, Leeds, three batters from the visiting team have already slammed hundreds in the first innings. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and new Test captain Shubman Gill registered hundreds on the first day while wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant added by reaching his hundred on the second day.

However, this has occurred three others times in the past. Here are four instances of three Indian batters scoring hundreds in a single innings outside Asia.
