Jonny Bairstow - England

Jonny Bairstow was arguably the greatest benefactor of Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes, who took over as England Test team leaders. Given the freedom to play his attacking game, Bairstow had one of the most fruitful years of his Test career, leading to some resurgence.

He scored 6 centuries and 1 half century and showed his brilliant conversion rate.

He first hit a 106-on-140 counterattack in the first innings to help England stay alive in the game in Birmingham. He went one better in the second innings, scoring 114 points and building a brilliant foothold with Joe Root as England chased down 378 to level the series.

He recorded numbers of 5 from 52 in the first innings and helped South Africa bowl out England with 165. He then followed it up with a disciplined performance of 2 from 27 in the second innings as South Africa threw out England on 149 to win the match by an innings and 12 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series .

Usman Khawaja - Australia

Khawaja returned to the Australian side during the Ashes of the Wild in 2022, making sure no one else took his place. There were some memorable performances, both in the middle order and as an opener.

Khawaja played a key role in the Australian batting side in the second half of the Ashes, as well as in their famous win during the away tour in Pakistan. Overall, he hit 1,080 runs in 11 games with a staggering 67.50 average. He has four centuries and five half centuries in the calendar year as his contributions helped Australia get one foot in the World Test Championship final.

Khawaja made a comeback to the side after a lengthy absence, punishing the England bowlers at the Sydney Test in the Ashes. He scored centuries in both innings (137 and 101*) as Australia sought a 4-0 lead in the series. While England's heroics on the final day ensured they clung to the draw, Khawaja had made an impact nonetheless.
