1. Ravichandran Ashwin - 429 - An all round display of excellence from the Indian sees him finish Cricketer of the Week. It is his first time in 58 weeks that he has claimed top spot. 429 is the 7th highest weekly score we have ever had.
2. Moeen Ali - 349 - A confusing week for Moeen. Departing the Ind v Eng series after a strong showing but securing a new IPL deal with CSK. He finishes second for the week and debuts in 10th spot on the overall List.
3. Steve Smith - 237 - A mixed bag for Smith this week. His 177 points from the opening Marsh Cup figure was bolstered by a meagre 60 from his return to Sheffield Shield action. It was enough for him to claim third for the week though.
4. Marnus Labuschagne - 157 - Marnus only featured in Sheffield Shield action this week - and his return to long form cricket was decent enough for a top 5 weekly finish.
5. Babar Azam - 133 - Babar is back on the T20 trail. He started this week playing for Pakistan and is now in full PSL mode. As it stands his 133 T20 points puts him bottom of that particular format. How high can he rise during his home domestic tournament?
Overall Top 5
1. Joe Root - 1217 - Despite a dip in form in the most recent Test, Root manages to hold top spot for a second week. His lead on second place is just 47 points.
2. Marnus Labuschagne - 1170 - The Queensland player has narrowed the gap between himself and top spot but still has to be satisfied with the second step on the podium this week.
3. Ravichandran Ashwin - 898 - An all time great List performance sees Ashwin jump from 6th to 3rd in a week. Another great Test and he could be pushing for top spot.
4. Nicholas Pooran - 715 - The Trinidad and Tobago player stormed into the top 5 last week with 82 from one Regional Super 50 game. This week he got 85 from four games. Despite the poor form he only drops one place.
5. Steve Smith - 650 - A poor performance in the Sheffield Shield means that Smith has to be satisfied with fifth place this week. His Marsh Cup form was enough to see him move up two spots.
Other mover
Peter Handscomb is another player to take advantage of a double whammy of domestic action. Despite just 119 points, the Victorian moves up three places to 8th. He is also the first player to play in all three formats of cricket in 2021.
