Cricket Winner Test Team of the Year
Test cricket demands patience and skill, and 2024 has seen impeccable sides focused on the race for the 2025 World Test Championship final. Here’s the Cricket Winner Test Team of the Year.
7. Ravindra Jadeja
2024 Stats: Matches: 12; Runs: 525; Average: 30.88; Wickets: 47; Economy: 3.40
Ravindra Jadeja is now a bit older and greyer, and his bowling has lost a little of its edge, but he remains irrepressible. When he wasn't scoring runs, he was taking wickets; when he wasn't taking wickets, he was scoring runs; and when he wasn't doing one, it was only because he was doing both.
He made a stellar appearance in India's 434-run humiliation of England in Rajkot, scoring a six-hour century and taking seven wickets. He then took 10 for 120, the second-best match stats of his career, against New Zealand in Mumbai. He closed the year with a vital 77, saving the follow-on in a tie with Australia.
