Let's take a look at the 3 Indian batsmen who have scored the most Test runs in West Indies.
3. VVS Laxman:
VVS Laxman played his first Test in the West Indies on the 1996–97 tour. Interestingly, Laxman was fielded in that series as an opener and in 4 Tests he scored 172 runs with 2 half-centuries.
On his next West Indies tour of India in 2001-02, Laxman scored 474 runs in 8 innings of 5 matches with 4 fifties and 1 century. On the 2006 tour, Laxman scored 257 runs in 7 innings with 1 century and 1 half-century.
He was in good form in the 2011 Test series and scored 243 runs in 3 matches with 3 half-centuries. Overall, Laxman scored 1146 runs in 27 innings in the West Indies, including 2 centuries and 10 half-centuries.
2. Sunil Gavaskar:
Sunil Gavaskar made his Test debut on the famous Windies tour of 1970–71. In 8 innings of that series, Gavaskar had scored 50+ in 7 innings and he scored 774 runs with 4 centuries and 3 half-centuries.

1. Rahul Dravid:
There is no doubt that former Indian captain Rahul Dravid is one of the greatest players of Test cricket. Dravid is one of the few players to have scored at least one Test century against all 9 Test-playing nations.
