Top 10 run scorers for India in World Cup history

#5 Mohammad Azharuddin

Mohammad Azhar was one of India's consistent run-getters at the World Cup. The wristy strokemaker was the lynch pin of the Indian middle order in the 1992,1996 and 1999 World Cups. Azhar had a stellar showing with the willow in the 1992 World Cup amassing over 300 runs. He scored an impressive 93 against a quality Australian pace attack and followed it up with three half-centuries against West Indies, and South Africa. Azhar's most memorable knock came in the 1999 World Cup where he scored a fighting 59-run knock against Pakistan at Manchester to help India beat their arch-rivals in the Super Six stage.
