MARNUS LABUSCHAGNE (AUS)
1675 runs in 13 Tests, avg of 72.82, 5 centuries and best of 215
Marnus Labuschagne ended up as the highest run-getter in the 2019-21 WTC cycle with 1675 runs in 13 Test matches. He scored 5 centuries with the highest score of 215 runs. He averaged 72.82 for Australia during the WTC 2019-21 cycle. Labuschagne’s hunger for runs has resulted in him becoming a vital cog in the Australia batting lineup.
BEN STOKES (ENG)
1334 runs in 17 Tests, avg of 46, 4 centuries and best of 176; 34 wickets with inns best of 4/49
Ben Stokes proved to the world that he is perhaps the best all-rounder in the world today given that he was in both the highest run-getters and wicket-takers list.
Stokes started the WTC well, leading England to a famous win over Australia in the 2019 Ashes in Headingley and overall made 1334 runs in 17 Tests with 4 centuries and best of 176. With the ball, he picked 34 wickets, most of them coming at a crucial time and helping England along the way.
RISHABH PANT (WK-IND)
707 runs in 12 Tests, avg of 39.27, 1 century and best of 101, 41 dismissals
Rishabh Pant finally got his redemption when he was asked to keep wickets in the 2020-21 Australia series. He was bought in to strengthen the batting as Virat Kohli went back home after the first Test in Adelaide. But he starred in India’s SCG draw and then made a brilliant 89* in India’s epic Test win in Brisbane, which handed them their second consecutive Test series win in Australia.

He continued his good form at home against England, scoring a century as well. However, the best thing was his wicketkeeping and fitness, both of which improved drastically while he was away from the team.
KYLE JAMIESON (NZ)
247 runs and 43 wickets in 7 Tests, inns best of 6/48, 5 fifers and 1 10-fer
Kyle Jamieson rightfully won the Man of the Match in the WTC 2021 Final against India and probably is the find of the tournament as well. Making his Test debut in 2020 against India at home, Jamieson ended up with 247 runs and 43 wickets in 7 Tests. More impressively, he has 5 five-wicket hauls and one ten-fer to his name. Certainly a future star in making.
