The performance of Indian batsmen in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) has been consistently strong in the last few years. Between 2019 and 2025, India played many memorable test matches and in these matches many of the team’s great batsmen proved their ability. Now when the WTC figures are put forward, it becomes important to know who was India’s most reliable run-scorer during this period. Latest records show that young batsman Shubman Gill has achieved the top position, leaving behind all the Indian batsmen.
Shubhman Gill
Shubman Gill has scored 2843 runs in 40 tests in the matches played from 2020 to 2025. He has 10 centuries and 8 half-centuries in his name in 73 innings. His memorable inning of 269 runs made him India’s most successful batsman in the WTC. With an average of 43 and a strike rate of 61.49, Gill has proved that he is India’s future as well as its present.
Rishabh Pant
Indian wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant is very close to Gill in this list after scoring 2780 runs in 40 matches. The highest score of 146 runs, 6 centuries and 16 half-centuries reflect his aggressive but effective playing style. A strike rate of 74.35 makes Pant one of the most dangerous batsmen in the WTC.
Rohit Sharma
From 2019 to 2024, Rohit Sharma has scored 2716 runs in 40 test matches. The brilliant innings of 212 runs and 9 centuries reflect the brilliance of his Test career. Rohit’s average was 41.15 and strike rate was 58.32, which shows that he maintained the balance of both stability and aggression in the opening.
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli, who scored 2617 runs in 46 matches, is at fourth place in this list. His historic innings of 254 not out and 5 centuries and 11 fifties are proof of his class. However, the average of 35.36 shows that his performance during this period was a bit irregular.
Ravindra Jadeja
Jadeja is at number 5 in this list after scoring 2610 runs in 48 matches. He proved that he not only bowls but also adds important runs down the order. With an average of 42.78, he is ahead of many batsmen.
