India's batters, sent in as nightwatchmen, seem to enjoy batting at The Oval. Amit Mishra had stroked 84 at this venue in 2011 when he was sent in at No 5 as the nightwatchman.

'The highest Test score by an Indian nightwatchman is the 84 by Amit Mishra (batting at #5), which also came at this ground against the same opponent on 22 Aug 2011,' says ace statistician Mohandas Menon on X.
