Indian Cricket Board announces top performers in ODIs, T20Is and Tests for 2022, no Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli in the list

Published on December 31, 2022

The ‘Men-in-Blue’ ended another year without adding a major trophy in their cabinet. 2022 was a forgetful year for Team India as they failed to grab titles in the Asia Cup and the 20-20 World Cup. The team performed well in the bilateral series but couldn’t repeat the same success in global events. However, there was a lot of individual brilliance that led to the creation of several rising stars. Players like Suryakumar Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer showcased match-winning skills in important matches to bail India out of tricky situations.

The Indian Cricket Board has acknowledged the top performers for Team India across all three formats- Test, One-Day International and T20 cricket. Through their official Twitter handle, the apex body for cricket in India paid tribute to the tremendous success of one topmost batter and one topmost bowler in each of the three formats in the game.

In a tweet, the Indian Cricket Board acknowledged Pant and Jasprit Bumrah as the top batter-bowler pair in Test cricket for India in 2022. Pant was the highest run-getter for India in Tests as he scored 680 runs in seven matches at a great average of 61.81 with 146 runs as the highest score. While Bumrah scalped the highest number of wickets for India in the longest format of the game, getting 22 wickets in five matches.
