Shakib Al Hasan - The Best Cricketer of the Week



 Only 3 players to feature this week - so not so much as a Weekly Update....more of a Weekly Round Up.


In third place...or last place if you'd rather...Maro Jansen. A three-fer was all Marco had to offer this week - however, as he so often does, this has seen him move up the table. Surprisingly he has gone up two places to 6th.

In second place is Rashid Khan who continued his reign of terror. A wicket in every game against Pakistan coupled with maximum economy points in 2 of the three matches sees him continue to impress.

Cricketer of the Week this week goes to Shakib Al Hasan - a man who has not been COTW since 2019. He has been hugely impressive so far this year. This time out he excelled with the ball - bagging a five-fer against Ireland on Sunday.

Overall

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 1972 - Shakib has only had two weeks at the top of the table but has a huge lead of 321. No player has a bigger lead on the man below him.

2. Jos Buttler - 1601 - Inactive this week and has only 11 points of a lead below him. He loves a bit of IPL action though so will be looking up and not down.

3. Rashid Khan - 1590 - The relentlessness of Rashid continues. He is now up to his highest position of the year so far....with a lot of IPL cricket in coming weeks he could be here for a while.

4. Shubman Gill - 1490 - Inactive this week and down to his lowest position since Week 2. How well can he do in the coming weeks? He has never been out of the Top 5 this year.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 1414 - Drops to 5th again as he continues his yo-yo act up and down the Top 5. We will not see huge scores from him in the IPL but if he is a regular starter a few wickets here and there should see him do OK.

Ones to Watch

The smallest gap in the competition is between Rajasthan's Jos Buttler and Gujarat's Rashid Khan who have 11 between them. Could be a tussle that goes on between batter and bowler for a few weeks.

Top 3 Averages

1. Ravindra Jadeja – 235.67 (Down from 268)
2. Jos Buttler – 204.71
3. Shubman Gill – 186.25 (Down from 204.71)

Jadeja takes another big leap downwards..but still has the highest average of them all. Jansen's average takes a healthy bump up to 120.22.
