Top 5 Indian Batters Who Scored Maximum Runs In WTC 2023-25

The World Test Championship 2023-25 ended with disappointment for the Indian cricket team which failed to make it to the finals of the WTC after losing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 by 1-3. There is no denying the fact that below-par performances of the Indian batters is responsible for the poor performance of team India in the WTC 2023-25 and it won’t be wrong to say that Yashasvi Jaiswal stood apart from all other Indian batters as he was the top-scorer for the country.

Here are 5 top-scorers of the Indian team:

1. Yashasvi Jaiswal:

Young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal emerged as one of the standout performers of India in the WTC 2023-25 cycle. Over 19 Tests, he amassed 1,798 runs at an impressive average of 52.88. His consistent performances included four centuries and ten half-centuries. He also showcased his aggressive style of play, hitting 39 sixes, the most by any batter during this period.

2. Shubman Gill:

Shubman Gill, another key figure in India’s batting lineup, featured in 16 Tests and scored 972 runs at an average of 37.88. Gill recorded three centuries and three half-centuries, though he struggled to reach three figures in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 despite playing three matches. His overall performance placed him at the 15^th spot in the cycle’s run-scorers list.

3. Rohit Sharma:

The Indian skipper Rohit Sharma contributed three centuries during the cycle but his overall performance fell short of expectations. Across 17 Tests, he scored 864 runs at an average of 28.80, which included four half-centuries. On the challenging Australia tour, he managed only 31 runs, further highlighting his inconsistent run in this phase.

4. Virat Kohli:

Virat Kohli, India’s premier batter, endured a challenging cycle. He missed the five-Test series against England at home for personal reasons, limiting his appearances to 14 matches. Kohli scored 751 runs at an average of 32.65, including two centuries and three half-centuries, but his performances were far from his usual dominant standards.

5. Rishabh Pant:

Rishabh Pant’s contributions were limited as he recovered from a serious car accident. The dynamic wicketkeeper-batter played in 10 Tests, scoring 677 runs at an average of 37.61. Pant’s highlights included a century and four half-centuries, with a near-miss when he was dismissed for 99 in the Bengaluru Test against New Zealand. His attacking style remained intact, evidenced by a strike rate of 73.58.

Two other Indian batters managed to cross the 500-run mark in this WTC cycle. Ravindra Jadeja, India’s dependable all-rounder, scored 664 runs from 15 Tests at an average of 31.61, registering one century and four half-centuries. KL Rahul, another prominent player, accumulated 615 runs across 11 Tests, averaging 34.16. His contributions included one century and four fifties, further strengthening India’s batting unit during crucial matches.

It is quite clear that other than Yashasvi Jaiswal, no other Indian batter was able to make an impact in the WTC 2024-25. Moreover, with such performances, a team can register wins against minnows only and not against quality teams, leave aside winning the World Test Championship. What do you say?
