Shakib Al Hasan - The Best Cricketer of the Week...again

 



Weekly List


1. Shakib Al Hasan - 260 - The IPL's loss is Bangladesh's gain. On the week he announced he would not be joining up with Kolkata, Shakib gets his second Cricketer of the Week award of the year. he now has 7 - joint 7th of All Time alongside De Kock and Jeetan Patel.

=2. Jos Buttler = It's the age old pattern of one good T20 game and one average T20 game that allows you in the mix for weekly accolades. Predominantly here for a 22 ball 54 for Rajasthan vs Hyderabad.

=3. David Warner = 163 - Always wakes up for the IPL. Was languishing in bottom place of all active cricketers before this week and then he adds 50% of his total for the year and shoots up 3 places to 15th.

4. Moeen Ali = 162 - Moeen's all round ability is seldom used in T20 competitions...in fact he rarely bowls these days. This makes his 4-26 in the match between Chennai and Lucknow even more noteworthy. Moves up a place to 12th overall.

5. Rashid Khan = 140 = Mr Dependable provided the good with 5 wickets in two game - including his first Wicket bonus points. Surprisingly, however, he didn't bag any Economy points in the process.

Overall

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 2232 - Shakib was already in first position before he was the highest scoring cricketer in two successive weeks. His lead is now 468 points. With two ODI games against Ireland this week who knows how large that gap may swell to.

2. Jos Buttler= 1764 - Finishes 2nd overall, just as he did in the weekly accounts. Can't get the edge on first but also needs to be looking over his shoulder with the gap on 3rd place at 34. This is Buttler's 7th week in 2nd place. Nobody else has spent more than 3 there in 2023

3. Rashid Khan - 1730 - Is gaining on second spot and has put a little bit of daylight between himself and 4th place. However, with everyone between 2nd and 7th place all in IPL action over the coming weeks it could be an ongoing tussle.

4. Shubman Gill - 1627 - Is fairly well protected in fourth place of a while with 100+ points either side of him - his decent from in his opening IPL match for Gujarat vs Punjab put him on a good footing going forward.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 1449 - One of the more disappointing of our stars to have played more than one IPL game this week. His 35 points still sees him manage to stay in 5th place - largely thanks to not much challenge from below.

Ones To Watch

Three England team mates are in IPL action against each other this week with it all to play for just outside the Top Ten. Sam Curran has just a 4 point lead on Moeen Ali, who overtook Harry Brook this week into 12th place. Any of the three could break into the Top 10 this week.

Top 3 Averages

1. Ravindra Jadeja – 207 (Down from 235.67)
2. Jos Buttler – 196 (Down from 204.71)
3. Shakib Al Hasan - 186 (Up from 179.27)

Jadeja's transition from Test to white ball cricket has seen him drop 61 average points per week over the last 3 weeks - however he still averages over 200 and leads the way in terms of averages. David Warner improves his average the most this week; up 17.68 points - however at 55.86 a week he is still the lowest of any active player on our list.

One Day - Shubman Gill = 964
Short Form = Rashid Khan = 1730
