After 2016, 2022 became another memorable year for England’s star player Jonny Bairstow. Notching up 1061 runs with six tons in 19 innings of 10 matches, he became the fourth-most successful Test batter of 2022. In the fourth Test of the Ashes 2021-22, Bairstow scored his second Test ton in Australia to help his team avoid a loss against the hosts.

In March 2022, England visited the West Indies for a three-match Test series but came back home empty-handed. However, Bairstow looked solid with his bat during their disappointing campaign, scoring 226 runs in six innings of three Tests. However, the right-handed batter's best came in home conditions in June when he helped his side to whitewash New Zealand with his sensational batting efforts.

Chipping in with 394 runs in six innings of three Tests, Bairstow played a key role in the Kiwi team’s humiliation at the hands of the hosts. Following the conclusion of the New Zealand series, the Indian team visited England for the 5th Test of the 2021 Pataudi Trophy which couldn’t be conducted in 2021 due to COVID-19.

In the final Test, the English side went through many ups and downs but eventually, the match went in England’s favour due to his match-winning knocks of 106 and 114.
