1. Jonny Bairstow vs New Zealand- 3rd Test, Leeds

England faced New Zealand in the final game of the three-match Test series in Leeds. Kane Williamson & co. batted first and posted 329 runs on the board. The hosts in response had an awful start and were in a spot of bother at 55 for 6. 

It was looking like one-way traffic but Bairstow had other plans. The wicketkeeper-batter dismantled the Kiwi bowling attack with his powerful bat and brought his team back into the game. He plundered 162 runs in 157 deliveries to take England to a total of 360 in their first innings. The ace batter’s jaw-dropping knock comprised 24 boundaries.

New Zealand scored 326 in their second innings to set a target of 296 runs for England. Bairstow again showed his class in the second innings, smashing 71 runs in 44 deliveries to help his team cross the line.
