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??

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.?

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

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.
