BetBarter’s Best Test XI of 2024 - Indian to lead the team

India vs Australia and South Africa vs Pakistan Boxing Day Test matches concluded Test cricket in 2024. A lot of matches in the format were played throughout the last year and some of the players shined through with their performances. On that note, here’s our best Test XI of 2024:

Jasprit Bumrah is the captain of our team having picked a staggering 71 wickets in just 13 Test matches in 2024. He has also accounted for 30 wickets in the ongoing Test series against Australia. Along with him, Matt Henry and Josh Hazlewood form the bowling attack having picked 48 and 35 wickets respectively last year.

Kamindu Mendis and Ravindra Jadeja are the all-rounders of this team. Mendis was the breakout performer of 2024 for Sri Lanka, more as a batter scoring 1049 runs at an average of 74.9. On the other hand, Jadeja also did well scoring 508 runs at an average of 31.7 to go with 44 wickets at a bowling average of 23.9.

Yashasvi Jaiswal is the other Indian part of the XI

Another batter who can bowl left-arm spin in this team is Rachin Ravindra of New Zealand. He scored 984 runs with the bat at an average of 42.7 and will bat at four in this XI as well. 

Harry Brook of England is included in the team for having an extraordinary year while Jamie Smith pipped Rishabh Pant for the wicketkeeper-spot after mustering 637 runs at an average of 42.4. He also took 31 catches behind the stumps along with a solitary stumping.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ben Duckett and Joe Root form a formidable top three of our best Test XI of 2024. They were the highest run-scorers in Tests in 2024 with Root leading the charts having amassed 1556 runs at an impeccable average of 55.5. Jaiswal matched his performance almost with 1478 runs at an average of 54.74 with three centuries and nine fifties to his name.
