Which players have taken most wickets in WTC 2023-2025?
The ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-2025 has been an exciting tournament, with some of the world’s top teams battling it out for the coveted title. As we near the end of the tournament, we take a look at the players who have taken the most wickets in WTC 2023-2025.
According to the latest statistics, Australia captain Pat Cummins tops the list of players with most wickets in WTC 2023-2025. Cummins has been in phenomenal form, picking up 80 wickets in 18 matches, a testament to his skill and experience. His impressive bowling figures have been crucial to Australia’s success in the tournament, and he is undoubtedly one of the most feared bowlers in the game.
Cummins is followed closely by India pacer Jasprit Bumrah and Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc, who both have 77 wickets to their name. Bumrah’s ability to bowl yorkers at will has been a nightmare for batsmen, while Starc’s pace and accuracy have made him a formidable opponent.
Australia spinner Nathan Lyon has also been in excellent form, taking 66 wickets in 17 games, making him the fourth-highest wicket-taker in WTC 2023-2025. His experience and guile have been invaluable to the Australian team, and he has been a key factor in their success.
Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin rounds out the top five, with 63 wickets in 16 matches. Ashwin’s ability to spin the ball both ways and his experience of playing in different conditions have made him a valuable asset to the Indian team.
Other notable bowlers in the top 10 include England’s Stuart Broad and James Anderson, who have both taken over 50 wickets in the tournament. Broad’s ability to bowl consistent spells has been vital to England’s success, while Anderson’s experience and guile have made him a difficult opponent for batsmen.
