Alastair Cook has played many classic knocks in subcontinent, I think he would have to be up there

Jayawardene is right up there.

One of the few English players who played better on the subcontinent and in Australia than England, born in the wrong country?

Mahela debuted in 1997

 

[ataraxia]

Jayawardene stands out

 

[Nintendo]

Root comes to mind straight away. Not as sure on smith vs spin after this last series in india, was clueless. Rohit's also a good shout. Wonderful record in some turgid home conditions when noene else was making runs for india.

 

[Ali TT]

Cook, yes.
Jayawardena too

Cook, yes.
Jayawardena too

Mehala debuted pre 2000s this about players who debuted in this century offcourse cook

 

[Molehill]

In a similar vein to Cook, could Khawaja be considered too? I know he padded his stats on those flat Pakistani surfaces, but did ok versus India as well.

Oh, and Jayawardene obviously too.

 

[Spark]

Sehwag and then daylight IMO. Could do anything anyone else could, but put the fear of the Lord Almighty into the opposition while he did it.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Tom Latham has to be an option. Unfortunately he really struggles against pace and swing which is a prerequisite for an opener.

For a long time when he batted 3 UK was terrible against spin.

Khawaja was a good player of spin not great player unlike a smith or root
