International cricket consists of three formats- Test, ODI, and T20I. Although batsmen’s job is to pile up runs in every format, they have to undertake a slightly different style while batting across the three formats. While Test requires batsmen to bat without fear of run rate, ODI compels batsmen to score enough runs off the balls they face. In T20I, batsmen just have to smash big shots so as to pile up as many runs as possible.

In the past, many Indian batsmen have excelled at these styles of batting across formats in international cricket. They have come up with good knocks in all three formats and emerged as batting greats for Indian cricket. In this article, we take a glance at 6 Indian batsmen with the most 50-plus scores in international cricket.
