3. Allan Border (Australia)- 200 vs England, Leeds, 1993
One of the most inspirational captain of the Australian team, Border was the first batsman to score 10,000 Test runs. When he took charge of the team, it was in shambles due to various reasons and from that position he made them a force to reckon with. The left-handed played one of the best knocks in Ashes when he scored 200 against their arch rivals at Leeds. The innings studded with 26 fours helped Australia to post a mammoth 653 batting first. England failed to recover from the mauling and lost the Test by an innings and 148 runs, propelling this innings into this list.
