Hardik Pandya - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Weekly Top 5


1. Hardik Pandya - 196 - Injury has hampered Hardik this year but every now and then you get a glimpse of him at his best. This week it was in one of his three games against the West Indies where he got 70*. It is his second Cricketer of the Week accolade this year.

2. Shakib Al Hasan - 193 - Last week he was playing for Montreal in the Global T20 Canada league, he has seemingly dumped them to go and play for Galle in the LPL. Has started very well with 53 runs and three wickets in his opening two games.

3. Moeen Ali - 173 - This was his highest score in any of the Ashes Tests. Not expecting to play Test Cricket 6 weeks ago he now has more Test Match points than Devon Conway, David Warner, Shubman Gill, Marco Jansen, Babar Azam, Shakib Al Hasan & Suryakumar Yadav.

=4. Jonny Baistow - 172 - When Bairstow plays well England win. That may very well be a coincidence but worked himself into form at the same time as England began to look ascendant.

=4. Shubman Gill - 172 - 2 months ago, Gill looked a world beater in all formats...then he has fallen away. This week he sorted out his ODI form which has seen him pop back into the Weekly Top 5 once more.

Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 3532 - Lost his top place spot to Shubman Gill 11 weeks ago, he edges ahead of Simon Harmer this week to take a 79 point lead into Week 32 of the year.

2. Simon Harmer - 3453 - Only took first place last week, he picked the wrong time to take a rest. He is likely to play some part in the One Day Cup campaign soon.

3. Shubman Gill - 3265 - A decent score this week sees him arrest his slide down the table. Needs to sort his T20 form out in order to keep the wolves from the door.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 3135 - A disappointing final two ODIs from Jadeja, but he manages to hold onto fourth place for a second week.

5. Rashid Khan - 3135 - Put in his best showing in the final of the MLC, however is now out of The Hundred tournament with an 'unspecified injury'. Buttler and Curran, who will both feature in the tournament, are 47 and 130 points behind him respectively.

Other Movers

Brook and Khawaja were the ones to watch last week. They scored 3 points different to each other and both shuffled up a place into 14th and 15th. Green drops two places to make way.

2. Simon Harmer - 172.65 (Up from 153.68)
