Key insights from the above stat

Nathan Lyon, Australia’s off-spinner, who was the leading wicket-taker in the WTC 2021-23 cycle, is making his way to the top by taking wickets consistently.

India’s ace spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin, is making batters dance to his tune with his disciplined bowling attack. He, along with Lyon, has the most 5-wicket hauls in Tests in the 2020s so far. 

Stuart Broad, the legendary England bowler, retired from International cricket after the Ashes 2023. He finished his Test career with 604 wickets, the second most Test wickets by an England bowler.

Broad’s partner, James Anderson, is still roaring in the longest format, as he clarified that he won’t be retiring anytime soon. So expect some memorable spells from Anderson in the near future.

South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada has been impressive with the red cherry, but he is highly unlikely to finish at the top given the fact that his team plays less Test cricket.

Shaheen Afridi, the new pace sensation from Pakistan, is making quick inroads with his fiery spells in Test cricket. He is one player to watch out for in the future.
