My best non Asian player batting performances in India

  1. Matthew Hayden's double ton at Chennai

He was a lone warrior and this innings is largely forgotten as it was after the famous Kolkata test.

  1. Andy Flower 233 at Nagpur

A true match saving innings where Zimbabwe had no right to draw after being enforced a follow on. Flower had other plan though.

  1. Amla 253 at Nagpur

Dhoni's first ever Home loss, Amla helped by Kallis destroyed the indian bowlers in their own turf winning by an innings.

  1. Cook 190 at Kolkata

India's che(i)f tormentor, he scored centuries in all 3 tests but this was his best and clinched a first series win in India since who knows when

  1. Pietersen 186 at Mumbai

https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/england-tour-of-india-2012-13-565792/india-vs-england-2nd-test-565807/full-scorecard

There really isnt any other innings other than this one. KP struggled against spinners and asked advice from Rahul Dravid. Well... the rest is history. He didnt grind India, he obliterated them and hit the best innings of his life on a rank turner. A true masterpiece

what have i missed?
