Shubman Gill - The Best Cricketer of the Week

Weekly Top 5

1. Shubman Gill - 158 - Many felt that Gill's 43 & 65 for the Indians v Australia A would give him a Test berth. This did not come to pass but he wins Cricketer of the Week for the 3rd time this year. It's worth noting that Gill has 2 of the lowest scoring weeks of Weekly winners

2. Jason Holder - 140 - Another example of a losing captain doing very well for themselves. This is his highest score since the end of the IPL.

3. Virat Kohli - 118 - The starkest example of an individual player's success standing in contrast to their team's failings. Kohli ends his year with a third spot for the week. He is in tenth spot overall. Will he hold it for the last 11 days?

4. Keshav Maharaj - 110 - A month in the wilderness has not dented Maharaj's impact. A 3-fer in a rain effected game for the Dolphins sees him take 4th spot for the week. How different his year may have been without Covid.

5. Aaron Finch - 77 - Takes 5th place from one average performance and one poor one in the BBL. His average has dropped to 108.27 per week's active.

Other Movers

Glenn Maxwell - Maxwell has had a bit of a late burst of performances this year. He only scored 59 this week but moved up two places to 7th. This is his highest position on the overall table since January.

Overall Top Five

1. Babar Azam - 3082 - Questions over whether Babar plays again this year but is now looking a cert to join Simon Harmer and Glenn Maxwell in the pantheon of Cricketers of the Year.

2. Ben Stokes - 2955 - No further cricket this year for Big Ben. Second place is his. Would very likely have forced his way to the top of the South Africa series had gone ahead.

3. Joe Root - 2512 - Has Holder coming up behind him but has probably done enough to hold third spot for the year. This would reflect his highest ever year end position after being 10th in 2018 and 5th last year.

4. Jason Holder - 2444 - The only upwards mover in the top 5 this week. Despite two humiliating losses to New Zealand, Holder has cemented his place in the Top Five for the Year.

5. Aaron Finch - 2382 - Some distinctly averages BBL performance sees Finch drop a place to 5th.
