Team-wise best Test batter of the year 2021
These players were consistent with the willow throughout the year and would love to continue in the same vein going forward.
4. Bangladesh – Liton Das
Taking charge as the wicketkeeper of the Bangladesh Cricket team, Liton Das was surely the star of their Test set up this year with the bat. Taking a break from the shortest format may have been a blessing in disguise for the 27-year-old.
The feeling of ending the year as the highest run-scorer in the Test format for Bangladesh would surely mean something to the wicketkeeper, but what supersedes that was his maiden ton in the format in Chittagong vs Pakistan. In his seven matches, he managed to score a total of 594 runs at an impressive average of 49.50. He also put up consistent performances for the nation with five half-centuries in 12 innings.
Bangladesh certainly needs match-winners after a poor 2021 year in Tests. With Liton Das coming up the ranks slowly as a dependable middle-order batter, he will surely try to turn fortunes for the country as he will aim to become the X factor for their Test squad.
