Dec. 31 (ICC) - The champions of the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 cycle dominated the charts this year with some stellar individual performances.

Australia were crowned the 2023 World Test Championship winners, after beating India in the final by 209 runs earlier this year at The Oval. Not only in the final, but the Australian players put up impressive performances throughout the year. Let's take a look at some of the Test numbers starting with the top run-getters.

The Aussies occupied the top four spots in the run-getters chart with Usman Khawaja finishing 2023 with the most number of runs.

New Zealand's Kane Williamson scored the most centuries in 2023 with four, followed by three each from Bangladesh's Najmul Shanto, Australia's Usman Khawaja, and Steve Smith.

Only up to a point. They have higher runs and wicketkeeper wickets because they have played more matches than others. Only in bowling Lyon is comparable.

Our Test Captain Dimuth Karunaratne is actually the second according to averages. Also of his six matches, he has scored two centuries and three fifties. Commendable indeed. With Kusal Mendis leading the list of highest individual scores, and Prabath Jayasuriya recording the best economy rate among those top five bowlers, it is unimaginable how our test team would have fared if more tests had come its way.

Good to see that SL still got some players in top lists. If we have a capable cricket board , these lists will have more of our players.
