Glenn Maxwell - The Best Cricketer of the Week




Weekly Top 5


1. Glenn Maxwell - 288 - After being largely anonymous for most of the year, Maxi has put on over 500 points in a fortnight. Piling on the points at just the right time for the World Cup. Moves up 3 places to 11th.

2. Kane Williamson - 147 - Whatever happens to the Hyderabad franchise after this campaign, Williamson has been their stand out player in this campaign and finishes second for the week to draw his IPL 2021 to a close.

3. Jasprit Bumrah - 146 - Just one point off second place, Bumrah has been far more dependable in the UAE leg of IPL 2021. He moves up two places on the Overall List to 12th.

4. Babar Azam - 131 - His National T20 Cup form continued this week, however has now left the camp to join up with Pakistan. The T20 top point scorer will be hoping for a profligate World Cup.

5. Ravichandran Ashwin - 122 - With this week's total he doubled his yearly tally of T20 points which perhaps reflects his lack of prowess in the shortest form to date. Nips into 5th spot for the week and moves up a spot to 8th overall at the expense of Dawid Malan.

Overall Update

Again, not much to report as the Top 5 of Simon Harmer, Marnus Labuschagne, Joe Root, Babar Azam and Quinton De Kock remain unchanged for the 10th week out of the last 11.

Azam is still zoning in on Root's third place spot, however. It is now down to just 209. The narrowest gap we have seen for 8 weeks.

Ones To Watch

With the T20 World Cup looming large we have a mouth-watering battle at the top of the table for most points in the shortest format.

Azam has dominated this for some while, however De Kock, Moeen, Maxwell and Pooran are all lining up behind him.
