The Majestic WTC 2021-23 cycle has almost come to an end, with just the final left to play. This WTC cycle has seen some records being made and some of them being shattered. Just before the WTC final starts Cricket Australia has named the Playing XI of the tournament which also includes 3 Indian players, However, Virat Kohli’s name is not there.

No Virat Kohli in Cricket Australia’s WTC 2021-23 Team

Although Virat has scored 870 runs till now, he is still not among the top runs getters of the tournament maybe that’s the reason behind his name not being there in the list. Virat has played some really nice knocks still till now he hasn’t shown the best version of himself yet.

He has only managed to score 1 century and 3 half centuries with the final left to play. His first century of this WTC cycle came just months ago against the Aussies in Ahmedabad where he scored 186 runs from 364 balls including 15 fours with an average of 51.

The Indian Run Machine has been silent until that match but since then he has been scoring in every match he played. Though he was not in his best touch after the 2019 World Cup, he is still the second most run-getter for India in the World Test Championship 2021-2023 cycle.

The best XI of the tournament includes 3 Indians, 3 Aussies, 2 Englishmen, 1 The Lions, 1 Proteas, and 1 Pakistani. The playing XI is “Usman Khawaja, Dimuth Karunaratne, Babar Azam, Joe Root, Travis Head, Ravindra Jadeja, Rishabh Pant (WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Pat Cummins (C), Kagiso Rabada, and James Anderson.

Let’s have a look at the stats of the playing XI of the tournament:

  • Usman Khawaja: Runs-1608. Centuries-6. Half-centuries-7, Highest score-195*
  • Dimuth Karunaratne: R-1054, C-2, HC-8, HS-147
  • Babar Azam: R-1527, C-4, HC-10. HS-196
  • Joe Root: R-1915, C-8, HC-6, HS-180*
  • Travis Head: R-1208, C-3, HC-6, HS-175
  • Ravindra Jadeja: R-673, C-2, HC-3, HS-175*
  • Rishabh Pant: R-868, C-2, HC-5, HS-146
  • Ravichandran Ashwin: W-61, 5 WH- 2, BBI: 6-91
  • Pat Cummins: W-53, 5 WH- 3, BBI: 5-38
