Saim Ayub - The Only Cricketer of the Week

 

The Cricket List Saim Ayub Special

In an almost comical turn of events, Saim Ayub is the only player to have registered point this week. With 37 points in the opening game of the PSL, he creates a new record for lowest ever Weekly High Score. This was previously held by Babar Azam almost exactly two years ago for a solitary PSL score.


Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 1302 - Inexplicably remained top despite 6 weeks of inactivity. Will be back in action for the first time as a 15 year old when Rajasthan face Chennai on Monday.

2. Quinton de Kock - 1248 - Has just the nine point lead on third place. Just the one game for him this week as Mumbai play Kolkata on Sunday.

3. Aiden Markram - 1239 - A great World Cup saw Markram crash into the Top 5 and could go even higher with 63 points between third and first with no pressure from below him.

4. Sam Curran - 1156 - Ruled out of the IPL and will drop like a stone with a plethora of cricket to come over the coming weeks.

5. Saim Ayub - 1012 - Celebrates the start of the PSL with his debut appearance in the Overall Top 5. Lot of cricket to come from him so could really cement his place.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 260.4

Mehidy Hasan Miraz - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

The calm before the IPL storm has reached an almost comical level this year with only two players featuring this week.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz gets a very hollow looking first Cricketer of the Week award this week. With 131 points in two ODI games against Pakistan, MHM has the 13th lowest weekly high totals in the 8 years of our game. He does, however, move up two places over-taking Simon Harmer and Phil Salt into 15th.

Pathum Nissanka made his red ball debut for 2026 before dropping over to join up with Delhi for the IPL. He scored a decent 77 at a SR over 80 for Nondescripts against Police Sports Club. He overtakes Rachin Ravindra into 8th place.

For the third week in a row the Top 5 looks like this:

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi 1302
Quinton de Kock 1248

Sam Curran 1156
Harry Brook 1011
