Stuart Broad

A single magic spell from a bowler can turn the tide in a Test match. India and England would know this better than anyone else. Their encounters have produced some of the most astonishing bowling performances in Test cricket; often resulting in one bowler almost singlehandedly wiping out the opposition batting order.  

Fixture: England Vs India, 2nd Test, 2011
Venue: Trent Bridge, Nottingham
Figures: 6-46 and 2-30
Result: England won by 319 runs

Broad first shined with the bat in the first innings and helped England get past 200 with his explosive innings toward the end. Following that, he was lethal with the ball as he removed most of the Indian middle and low order, helping England restrict the Indians for 288. His contribution in the second innings included 44 runs with the bat and the wicket of in-form Rahul Dravid with the ball.
