Weekly Top 5
1. Simon Harmer - 326 - It's been a while but Harmer is at the top of the tree once more. He is our GOAT and this is his 20th time topping the weekly charts. Stokes is in second place on that list with 9. He is just that good!
2. Moeen Ali - 211 - After always looking like something of a misfit in the IPL to date, Moeen is finally producing the goods. He has the highest average points per game of any player on our List - 95.75. His 146 against Rajasthan this week was the highest score so far in IPL2021
3. Joe Root - 182 - His return to the County Championship action has not been emphatic but a century against Kent gives him third spot for the week.
4. Glenn Maxwell - 148 - Looking in the IPL form of his life at the moment. He averages 79 points a game - the second highest of any of our players. Is up two places to sixth.
5. Virat Kohli - 137 - Virat has been in intermittent form for some while but has popped his head into the top 5 for the first time in a few weeks. Is up two places to seventh.
Overall Top 5
1. Marnus Labuschagne - 1981 - Girding his loins before joining up with Glamorgan, Marnus still holds top spot. His lead has now narrowed to 222.
2. Joe Root - 1759 - A decent innings against Kent and Root has pulled away from the chasing pack. 269 points separate him from third place - the largest gap in the whole list.
3. Babar Azam - 1490 - Maybe not one of his more memorable performances in the series against Zimbabwe but Babar has consolidated last week's haul and moved into third.
4. Ravichandran Ashwin - 1485 - A dire week for Ashwin. He has featured in two IPL games and scored 0 in both of them. Down a place.
5. Peter Handscomb - 1223 - Manages to hold his fifth place spot despite being inactive this week. He has a slew of IPL talent breathing down his neck.
Other movers
Despite finishing outside the top 5 for the week, Warner's 77 points was enough to see him move up two spots in a densely packed lower midtable. He is now 13th.

Top 3 Averages
1. Ravichandran Ashwin 212.14 (Down from 247.5)
2. Joe Root 195.44 (Down from 197.13)
3. Simon Harmer 180
Unusually, this week's largest increase and largest decrease are both in the overall top 3. Ravichandran Ashwin's average has dropped by 35.36 courtesy of his 0 point hual this week....but he still holds first spot. Those Test matches really gave him such a strong lead. On the other end of the spectrum, Harmer has gone up a huge 72.5 points per week.
