ICC World Test Championship: Predicting the top run-getter for each team

4. South Africa – Quinton de Kock

Quinton de Kock

South Africa start their World Test Championship against India in the sub-continent, and it won’t be easy for the Proteas against the No. 1 team in their home conditions. While playing in the sub-continent you need players who can counter-attack, and South Africa have one in Quinton de Kock.

If the left-handed wicket-keeper gets going then he can take the game away from the opposition within a session. In 2019 he is already leading the charts for South Africa with 428 runs at an average of 61.14.

De Kock would look to score runs all over the world and be the top run-getter for his team in the Championship.

3. Pakistan – Babar Azam

Pakistan haven't started their campaign in the World Test Championship either so far. The Asian team are quite strong in their home conditions but need to find a way to win overseas. Their batsmen need to step up, and one of them has to be Babar Azam.

Azam has taken his batting to the next level in the limited overs formats, and now it’s time that he does the same in the longest format.

He has all the talent in the world; it’s just a matter of application. Azam was very good in the recently concluded World Cup and would look to carry his form to the longer format.
