Anil Kumble, India's lone century-maker in the three-Test series against England, emerged with the highest batting average for the victorious visiting team.
Kumble averaged 54 to top the batting averages chart after scoring an unbeaten 110 in the first innings of the third and final Test. He aggregated 162 runs in the series that India won 1-0.
The veteran leg-spinner also picked up 14 wickets, including a haul of 6/136, for the second highest tally after pacer Zaheer Khan (18) in the series.
Dinesh Karthik, however, topped the batting aggregates with 263 runs followed by Sourav Ganguly (249), Sachin Tendulkar (228), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (209) and VVS Laxman (205).
Captain Rahul Dravid's dubious record of 12 off 96 balls in the second innings at The Oval pushed him to a lowly eighth with 126 runs at an average of 25.20.
