The WTC 2021-2023 cycle is almost coming to an end. Test cricket is the most loved format of the sport. We have seen a few test matches go down the wire of late. These games are the ones that make sports exciting. Post the announcement of the World Test Championship, the test matches have got a meaning and the games are truly very interesting. But who are the top performers of the WTC 2021-2023 cycle?
Most Runs in WTC 2021-2023 Cycle:

Jonny Bairstow | England | 28 | 1285 | 51.4 |
Joe Root has Mot Runs in the WTC 2021-2023 Cycle:
Joe Root has scored a mountain of runs in this cycle of the World Test Championship. He was the only English batter scoring runs in the first half of the WTC 2021-2023 cycle. It was evident that the England cricket team was struggling but Joe Root was their lone warrior. Root has been an integral part of their success after adopting the Bazzball approach as well. It is because players like Root, bind the team together. His getting sacked from captaincy was a setback but that has worked exceptionally well for him and the team.
Most Wickets in WTC 2021-2023 Cycle:
Name | Country | Wickets | Average |
Nathan Lyon | Australia | 69 | 28.82 |
James Anderson | England | 58 | 20.3 |
Kagiso Rabada | South Africa | 55 | 23.2 |
Ollie Robinson | England | 53 | 20.7 |
Pat Cummins | Australia | 53 | 21.22 |
Nathan Lyon has the Most Wickets:
Lyon has managed to get himself to the top of the charts this time around. He was a class apart from all the other bowlers. Playing in Australian conditions where the ball is generally meant to be given to the pacers, Lyon managed to be the trump card of the Australians. He was the reason behind the success of Australia in this WTC 2021-2023 cycle. His performance against India in Indore was elite. It was one for the ages. Lyon has been a tireless workhorse for the Australian team and has been a part of all the Ashes series since 2013.
