Tests 2022-23: Ranking Top 10 Test Batters
Test cricket saw some dazzling batting displays from batters across countries as records stumbled for fun.
7. Ben Stokes
After Joe Root’s resignation from England’s Test captaincy, the England Cricket Board (ECB) handed the crucial responsibility to Ben Stokes in May 2022. So far, Stokes has done an impressive job as a skipper as he has led the team from the front. Spearheading England for the first time as a full-time Test captain in June 2022, Stokes looked decent as a batter with his 194 runs in five innings of three Tests against New Zealand.
In August-September 2022, South Africa clashed with England in a three-match Test series in the latter’s backyard. The first Test went in the visitors’ favour but in the second Test, the English side made a comeback with an innings and 85-run win over the Proteas at the Old Trafford. In the enormous triumph, Stokes chipped in with his sensational 103-run knock in the first innings and four wickets in a match.
The England Test captain became the third-leading run-scorer of 2022 for his side, scoring 870 runs with a couple of tons and four half-centuries in 26 innings of 15 Tests.
