#1 Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir looked like one of the promising batters when he first entered the team in 2004. The opening batter slammed his maiden Test ton against Bangladesh in only his fifth Test. Unfortunately, he had to wait for four years for his next ton, but bounced back in style, scoring three tons in the 2008 season with over 1,000 runs in the calendar year. The Delhi batter continued his solid form, scoring 727 runs with the help of four hundreds in 2009. However, his centuries dried up after his 116 against Bangladesh in 2010, and he didn’t manage a single century despite playing for India till 2016. Overall, he amassed 4,154 runs in 54 Tests at an average of 41.95, including nine centuries.
