TEAM India`s vastly experienced top order, comprising Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane are legends in their own right, with impressive Test averages.
Kohli, a veteran of 109 Tests, boasts of an average of almost 50 (48.73), with 28 centuries to his name. Pujara, who has played 103 Tests, averages 43.61 with 19 tons. Rahane, with 83 Tests, averages almost 40 (38.97) and has picked up 12 centuries en route. Rohit, who has comparatively played much lesser Tests, 50, has an impressive average 45.22 with nine tons to his name. However, some probing into these numbers, particularly with reference to away matches in England, shows these very stalwarts in rather poor light.
