Best Test XI of the year 2015

2016 has arrived and promises to be a much exciting ride for cricket fans. With T20 World Cup in sight and many bilateral encounters between the Test-playing nations awaiting after that, makes a mouth-watering line-up for the fans around the world. 2015 was an exciting year for Test cricket fans. Albeit controversies around the DRS technology and the supposed pitch doctoring by home nations, the on-field action has overshadowed them by a long way.

Be it the historic day-night Test match, or England reclaiming the Ashes; be it India’s resurgence under Virat Kohli, or end of South Africa’s dominance, there were quite a few memorable moments in Test cricket. And a certain few players stood above the rest, with some excellent match-winning performances for their respective teams. Here we have the best Test XI of the year 2015.

1. David Warner (Australia):

David Warner has been absolutely berserk in the longer formats this year, with the Black Caps facing his wrath a month ago. The southpaw has scored 1317 runs in the longer format this year, with an exceptional average of 54.87 and a Sehwag-sque strike-rate of 81.85. Despite the Ashes debacle, Warner was at his best in the summer Down Under and has been a decent deputy to the newly appointed Australian captain Steve Smith. Warner will look to continue his form to an eventful cricketing year ahead.
