Most test hundreds in 2022: Jonny Bairstow leads the chart
England had hit rock bottom with respect to the tests after losing the Ashes 4-nil down under, they also lost the series to West Indies in a rather embarassing manner. England decided revamp their test match approach, as Joe Root stepped down from the captaincy and they appointed the talismanic all rounder from Durham, Ben Stokes, as the captain to go with Brendon McCullum as their head coach of the test team.
Their first assignment under new management turned into a box-office of a series as they demolished New Zealand 3-0 which was not expected to say the least. New Zealand whitewashed the same England team in the early 2021 just before the final of WTC. England took an aggressive approach that helped them defy the odds in that series. Jonny Bairstow was the key man in that series who smashed 2 centuries and ended up as the 2nd highest run getter for England.
