Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has announced his top five Test players in the world right now. After the exhilarating first two Ashes Tests between England and Australia, the discussion over who the top Test cricketers in the world are has been the talk of the town. Featuring a tense Ashes series between England and Australia, individual standout performances have come from Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith, Joe Root, and Ben Stokes. With three Tests remaining, the English Lions are only anticipated to improve for a comeback.
In the second innings of the second Test, England captain Ben Stokes scored 155 runs, while bowlers like Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc proved their class with the ball on a wicket that did not provide much to the bowlers. On July 12, India will begin WTC 3 with a two-match Test series against the West Indies. At a time when Test cricket looks to be the flavour of the month, Harbhajan Singh took to Twitter to express his thoughts on the top five Test players in the world right now.
5 best Test cricketers in the world today: Ayaz Memon
Following the conclusion of the Test, experienced sports writer and broadcaster Ayaz Memon turned to Twitter to poll the cricketing community on their favourite Test cricketers, writing, “Who are the 5 best Test cricketers in the world today?” The former Indian spinner named two Australians Steve Smith and Nathan Lyon, and Englishman Ben Stokes and he picked Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja, two aggressive left-handed middle-order batters among the Indians who are capable of changing the game.
Jadeja has become one of India’s most dependable batsmen, which means he frequently replaces R Ashwin in the team despite the latter’s superior bowling figures. Meanwhile, Pant has been ill for much of the year, but he has been India’s x-factor, keeping the team competitive in difficult conditions in England, South Africa, and Australia. Over the last 4-5 years, both have consistently been the best all-rounder and wicketkeeper-batsman in Test cricket.
Smith is without a doubt the finest Test batter of his era, with his statistics speaking for him. Smith, who averages above 60 in red-ball cricket, scored another match-defining century in the Lord’s Test last week.
