The IND vs ENG Test series will begin at the Hyderabad Cricket Stadium. Over the years, the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium has several magical performances with the bat, especially in Test cricket. Ahead of the first India vs England Test match, we will take a look at the players with most runs in the Test format at the venue.
Batters with most runs in Hyderabad Stadium:
Cheteshwar Pujara 510 runs Virat Kohli 379 runs Brendon McCullum 293 runs Murali Vijay 282 runs Virender Sehwag 203 runs
Cheteshwar Pujara
Senior batter Cheteshwar Pujara has scored 510 runs in five outings at the Hyderabad Cricket Stadium. Much to his disappointment, the right-handed batter is not a part of the IND vs ENG Test series.
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli will not be a part of the opening Test match at the Hyderabad Cricket Stadium. The right-handed batter has amassed 379 runs in four innings and sits on the second spot.
Brendon McCullum
Current England head coach Brendon McCullum comes third on the list with 293 runs. The former Kiwi batter has a good idea about the conditions at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium which might prove to be really helpful for the Three Lions.
