Team India boasts of a great balance of batters and bowlers and here are the 5 men who could potentially win the final of the World Test Championship.  

Virat Kohli

Putting together a top cricketers' list and not having Virat Kohli on it is a sin. Virat buried the demons of a horrid 2014 England tour with a thumping performance in 2018. In 5 Tests on the last tour, Kohli emerged as the highest run-getter of the series with close to 600 runs, which included 2 tons and 3 half-centuries.

Ravindra Jadeja

In the absence of Hardik Pandya, the all-rounder duties fall on Ravindra Jadeja. Apart from being a crucial part of the spin duo with Ravichandran Ashwin, his Ability to score quick runs down the order has come in handy for Team India. Add to that his superb fielding skills and Jadeja will feature in 9 out 10 teams in every format. 

Ishant Sharma

A veteran of 101 Tests, Ishant Sharma is the most experienced bowler in the Indian line-up. Among all countries, he has got the most wickets while bowling against England. Moreover, he ended up with 18 wickets on the 2018 tour of England, the most for India. 

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah's rise in Test cricket has been phenomenal, to say the least, and his golden arm is known to break partnerships. In just 19 Tests, Bumrah has an incredible 83 wickets at an outstanding average of 22.1. He has played 3 Tests in England where he has picked up 14 wickets, including a fifer.

Rishabh Pant

From being dropped from a Test team just a few months to being the superhero in whites for Team India, Rishabh Pant has become a reliable match-winner. He might give you anxiety while he bats but by improving his glovework, the Delhi lad has emerged as India's first-choice wicketkeeper. The southpaw has had an incredible 2021 with 515 runs in 6 Tests at an outstanding average of over 64. Statistics aside, who can forget his memorable series-winning knocks in Australia?
