This year, the England captain Joe Root has been in phenomenal form with six centuries for an aggregate of 1455 runs from twelve Tests and 23 innings. This was the year Kohli returned from Australia after playing the first Test at Adelaide for the birth of his first child, leaving the captaincy mantle to Rahane. For India the highest in the year was Ajinkya Rahane with 272 runs in four Tests, with Kohli behind him, Cheteshwar Pujara, Mayank Agarwal and Hanuma Vihari at 116 runs in three Tests. In a highly curtailed year in 2020, England’s Ben Stokes was the highest run getter with 641in seven Tests and 12 innings.
