Ravindra Jadeja - The Best Cricketer of the Week (again)

 

Weekly Update

1. Ravindra Jadeja - 336 - Just keeps getting better and better. Only his third active week but he keeps improving and his average is now a lofty 315.33 points per week. All three og his scores so far this year have been in the top 44% of all scores registered in the last 5 years

2. Harry Brook - 233 - Should feel well hard-done-by for not getting his inaugural Cricketer of the Week accolade...however one feels that it might just be a week's deferral. Surprisingly, still only 13th on the Overall list.

3. Rashid Khan - 195 - For the second successive week, Rashid turns out for two different teams; starting off with Afghanistan before joining up with the Lahore Qalandars. He's registering just 85.25 points a week but has played every week so is on the grind.

4. Babar Azam - 134 - You can always rely on Babar to put on one decent score a week - this time it was the 75* in the loss to Islamabad. Up a place to 12th overall.

=5 Devon Conway - 107 - A decent score in the first dig against England was followed up by just 2 runs in the second. Is not showing the consistency he showed last year but still manages a joint 5th place spot.

=5. Usman Khawaja - 107 - 83 runs split (fairly unevenly) across two innings for Uzzy. Hard to tell if he has proved to his critics that he can play in the sub-continent, but he has two more matches to prove that...or not.

Overall

1. Shubman Gill - 1179 - Gill was so strong in the first few weeks of the year that he can take a month off and still have a 40 point lead at the top of the table. Rumour has it, he might be back next week to continue his reign of terror.

2. Jos Buttler - 1139 - Inactive this week but will have had 2 ODIs under his belt by next week's update. Could be anywhere in the Top 5 by that time.

3. Shakib Al Hasan - 1005 - After his solitary game for Peshawar Zalmi, Shakib had to depart for a family emergency in America. I am unsure what this means for his inclusion in the BAN v ENG series.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 946 - Jadeja leaps into the Top 5 with a hop skip and a jump. Was 12th before the IND v AUS, jumped to 9th after the First Test and is now in fourth. Jadeja averages 315.33 a week and is 233 from top spot. Makes ya think.

5. Devon Conway - 901 - An OK-ish performance in the first Test against England combined with a tied weekly score with Usman Khawaja and an inactive week from Hardik Pandya sees Conway down just 1 place and just abotu holding on to his Top 5 berth.

Ones To Watch

Two players playing in the Longer form, one domestically, the other internationally, Janen and Khawaja have just 4 points between them in 7th and 8th. He will impressive more this week?
