#5 Navjot Singh Sidhu
A popular name in the commentary box, Navjot Singh Sidhu has represented India in Tests from 1983 to 1999. Like Gautam Gambhir, Sidhu has smashed nine centuries in the red-ball format. The right-handed batter took five years to score his first Test ton, scoring 116 against New Zealand. The Punjab batter slammed his first overseas ton against the West Indies in 1989. After a lean patch with the bat in 1990 and 1992, he bounced back in style with two tons apiece in 1993 and 1994. The opening batter had a breakthrough year in 1997, where he amassed 720 runs, including three centuries. Overall, he finished with 3,202 runs in 51 Tests at an average of 42.13 with the best score of 201 in the West Indies in 1997.
