World No. 1 Test bowler Jasprit Bumrah and star Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal managed to find a place in the ICC Men’s Test Team of the Year 2024. The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the men’s Test Team of the year 2024 on Friday, January 24.
Bumrah, who is out of action these days due to fitness-related issues, played 13 Tests in 2024 and picked up 71 wickets, which was the most by any bowler. In the five-match Test series against Australia, he accounted for the dismissal of 32 batters in nine innings.
In addition to his bowling, Bumrah impressed with his captaincy as well and led India to a 295-run win over Australia in the first Test of the five-match series played at Optus Stadium in Perth.
Jaiswal, on the other hand, amassed a total of 1478 runs in 15 matches for the Rohit Sharma-led side. In the five-match Test series against England at home, the left-handed batter scored 712 runs, and he also finished as the leading run scorer for India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Only Joe Root of England scored more runs than Jaiswal in Tests last year. Former England Test captain Root scored 1556 runs in 17 matches last year to finish as the leading run scorer, and in addition to him, Harry Brook (1100 runs) made it to the ICC Test Team of the Year 2024.
