- Kapil Dev – 79 wickets:
Undoubtedly, India’s greatest ever pacer, Kapil Dev was top notch against the Australians as he managed to pick 79 wickets in just 20 Tests. In those matches, Dev managed to get a five-wicket haul on seven occasions and took these wickets at a superb average of just 25.35, as opposed to his career average of 29.64. Among all those fine bowling spells against Australia, the one performance from him, which shall remain immortal, would be at Melbourne, as his heroics helped India successfully defend a total as low as just 125 to win the game.
