Who contributed more for Indian Test wins in this millennium? : Batting in Indian Home wins

So last time I looked at away wins here and now I ll take up Indian wins.Before I look at the stats let me make some guesses.One thing for sure,like in a way wins Dravid and Sachin should be the most contributors.Sehwag should have made more contribution compared to his contribution in away wins.I also expect Sachin to be more contributing than Dravid.Lets see the stats.


SR Tendulkar2000-201024406222621465.47411854.05810027612investigate this query
R Dravid2000-2010233992168200*72.26458347.307912615investigate this query
V Sehwag2002-201018301181029362.41202089.60411125332investigate this query
VVS Laxman2000-201022325153328156.77283953.9931112081investigate this query
SC Ganguly2000-20081525294713641.17188550.232321197investigate this query
MS Dhoni2005-201014194928132*61.86142365.212808518investigate this query
G Gambhir2004-20101119067216735.36114658.63231751


In the overall runs Sachin and Dravid pretty close.However, Dravid beats Sachin by his average. Sehwag is also not far considering he played less innnings. If you take average runs scored per innings I think Sehwag(60.33) beats both Sachin(55.65) as well as Dravid(55.59).Even Dhoni's average is good in these matches which means he is actually contributing to Test cricket also.I am surprised.But Gambhir failed at home clearly.He was really good in away wins but didn't really contributed much here.
So Its the trio of Dravid,Sachin and Sehwag are the batsmen who contributed mostly for Indian home wins.
I would give the trophy to Sehwag here because he scored at 60 per innnings at the strike rate of 90.
Silver and bronze goes to Dravid and Sachin non-respectively.Laxman and Dhoni chipped in at times but Ganguly and Gambhir failed at home wins.
