Cam Green - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Despite the fact that the IPl is winding down and most of our players only played the one game, all of the weekly Top 5 scored 200+ points.

Weekly Top 5

1. Cam Green - 281 - It has been a season of peaks and troughs for Cam Green....and it is certainly coming to an end on a huge peak. 141 runs across two innings at blistering SRs gives him his first Cricketer of the Week award.

2. Shubman Gill - 246 - Gill has been instrumental in getting Gujarat to the brink of the IPL final and has achieved that rare of things. back-to-back centuries in the shortest form. Is in the form of his life.

3. Simon Harmer - 238 - Another odd week for Hamer. Not much to shout about with the ball but 74 runs v Nottinghamshire took him to 194 points which he then bolstered with a couple of cameos for Essex 2nd XI in T20 games. Is now, inevitably, the highest red ball point scorer

4. Devon Conway - 217 - Few players have had as good a 2023 as Conway has in all formats. His T20 prowess has pulled Chennai to yet another IPL final. He has made 6th place his own on the Overall List and has nearly half a thousand points between him and 7th.

5. Sam Curran - 217 - Played two T20 matches this week 3956 miles apart...and did rather well in both of them. He bettered his 99 points for Punjab against Rajasthan on Friday with 108 for Surrey vs Middlesex on Thursday. He is up 4 spots to 7th this week.

Overall Top 5

1. Shubman Gill - 2692 - Lost his top spot position to Jos Buttler exactly three months ago, was third up until a fortnight ago, but Gill is now back in first. He, potentially, had two more games of IPL cricket to play so could extend his 91 point leas on second place.

2. Shakib Al Hasan - 2602 - 1 week into his 6 week break from them game and Shakib is down a place to second. How far will he descend before his return?

3. Rashid Khan - 2545 - Holds third spot for a second week with a score of 120 for the week. Has opened up a decent gap on 4th too.

4. Jos Buttler - 2343 - Ended his IPL season with another duck...but keeps his 4th place berth. Would have wanted to move up the list from second this IPL but finishes it two places worse off.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 2310 - Mr 5 continues his domination of this position for a 9th glorious week. Conway put him under some pressure this week and has shrunk the gap to 130 however will be looking up rather than down with a decent finale of the IPL.

Other Movers

Two other players this week moved up the list despite not finishing in the Top 5. Warner finished a decent IPL with 126 for the week, moving him up 2 places to 14th whilst Suryakumar Yadav's 118 saw him up one spot to 9th.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 185.79
2. Shubman Gill - 168.25 (Up from 163.07)
3. Ravindra Jadeja = 165 (Up from 162.92)

Cameron Green's big score sees him move up 17.65 points whilst bairstow's embryonic average takes a 24.83 point tumble courtesy of just 7 runs this week.

Rashid Khan - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly

1. Rashid Khan - 269 - It has been a long time coming but Rashid Khan has finally put on a big ol' score and tops the charts. You have to go back to the last week of 2019 to find the last time he was weekly high scorer.

=2. Suryakumar Yadav = 180 = In the IPL everything is hyperbole.....however, SKY's huge innings against Gujarat last Friday will live long in the memory and contributes to the bulk of his score for this week. Up to 10th overall.

=2. David Warner = 180 = Unlike his joint silver medalist Suryakumar, Warner got his score of 180 with two very solid performances. One a shade over 50 and one a shade under. Is very much the focal point of this misfiring Delhi team.

4. Shubman Gill = 167 = One great score and one pretty poor one sees him into fourth spot on a week where he could have ended up in pole position if he'd even scored just 20 against Mumbai.

5. Simon Harmer - 143 - Another OK score....Another slight rise up the table; 15th to 13th. But we're still waiting for the Harmer of old to return.

Overall

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 2601 - Bit of a shocker for Shakib. His first ODI was rained out, in the second he was ineffective and then got injured. Out for 6 weeks and with a lead of just 155 on 2nd, we will have a new leader at some point before the end of the month.

2. Shubman Gill - 2446 - Gill's return to second place marks his highest point for 3 months. 3 months and one week ago he was 1st...can he get back their once more?

3. Rashid Khan - 2425 - Rashid moves up to 3rd place again. He has not managed to get higher than that this year but has a gap of just 21 points on second. All to play for this week.

4. Jos Buttler = 2343 = A couple of destructive ducks has knocked Buttler off his 2nd place perch. After being 1st or 2nd for the last 15 weeks he now has the ignominy to be in fourth spot.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 2118 - In a turbulent week for the Top 5, one mainstay....stayed.....mainly. Jadeja has been in 5th place for 2 months and not even a weekly score of just 40 could get anyone anywhere near him.

Ones To Watch

Two IPL stars this week; one with greatly improved form....one who has been on the disappointing end of average. Just 9 points separate Mumbai's SKY and Punjab's Curran in 10th and 11th. A big week for either is needed to keep their top ten berth.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 185.79 (Down from 197.31)
2. Shubman Gill 163.07 (Up from 162.79)
3. Ravindra Jadeja = 162.92 (Down from 173.17)

Rashid Khan is the most improved this week - up 7.78 to 121.25. Jadeja has been a mainstay in the average points per week chart but needs to watch out. Down by 11.55 this week, Jos Buttler could overtake him as soon as today.

Shubman Gill - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Shubman Gill - 200 - Seems easy to forget but at the start of the year, Gill was in amazing form and he has carried this into the IPL. He had his best week of the season so far with a 130 runs across 2 games and his 2nd Cricketer of the Week accolade.

2. Suryakumar Yadav - 189 - This is his third week in the Top 5 in a row and we're starting to see the ol' 'Best White Ball Batter in the World' label being bandied around again. He still lags behind Buttler and Shakib in terms of batters in T20 points for us but is looking good.

3. Simon Harmer - 183 - Not able to really burst into life because of the early season conditions but is doing his standard work very well. He plays. He scores 100+. He moves up a place. He is now 15th overall.

4. Hardik Pandya - 164 - 70 of Hardik's 164 points came from Stike Rate alone. Is the ultimate pinch hitter in the IPL and is moving back up the table. he is up a place to 8th overall.

5. Jos Buttler - 163 - Frustratingly inconsistent this year. 95 against Hyderabad and then a duck against Kolkata. To nearly score a century at a 150+ Strike Rate and finish the week with 4 people above you is a shocker of a week.

Overall

We now have the same Top 5 for a full calendar month - a very early point of the year for this level of inertia to kick in. But the lack of fluidity goes even further than that.

Shakib in first has been Number 1 for 8 weeks in a row, beating Gill's previous record of 6. This is even more impressive as he has not played for a calendar month.

Buttler has been 2nd for 63% of the year with no other cricketer taking that place for longer than 3 weeks.

Gill has been in 3rd spot for 7 weeks overall. Either he or Shakib have taken 3rd spot in all but 4 weeks of the year.

4th is the most variable spot out of that Top 5 with 8 different people there at some point in the year. Rashid has held it for a month but he has been bouncing around 3rd, 4th and 5th since he entered the Top 5 in Week 11.

Jadeja's stay in 5th is the second longest run of any Cricketer in the List - Shakib's spell in first beats him by a week.

The Top 5 in full are:

1 Shakib Al Hasan 2565
2 Jos Buttler 2343
3 Shubman Gill 2279
4 Rashid Khan 2156
5 Ravindra Jadeja 2078

Other Movers

David Warner is a victim of failure around him as he manages to move up a spot despite scoring only 82 points this week. He replaces Cameron Green in 16th, which brings us to....

Ones To Watch

It is the battle of the underperforming Aussies this week as there is only 7 points between Delhi's Warner and Mumbai's Green. Very different players at different ends of their careers; both are capable of big things but both equally sporadic this season.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 197.31
2. Ravindra Jadeja = 173.17 ( Down from 177.9)
3. Jos Buttler = 167.36 (Down from 167.69)

Harmer's average jumps up the most as he moves into 100+ points a week for the first time this year. Sam Curran's score of 4 sees his average drop to 104.29 - the lowest it has been since his second week.
