Shubman Gill - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Shubman Gill - 221 - Certainly back in form after a bnit of a dip in the 3rd quarter of the year. Still has one more game of the World Cup to continue his fine form.

2. David Warner - 152 - Shows no sign of slowing down in his final tilt at World Cup glory. Has been a constant feature in the weekly Top 5s over the last month. Can he put on a good show in the Final?

3. Pat Cummins - 134 - Nobody can begrudge Cummins' success (apart from maybe Langer). Bagged a 3fer in the semi-final and has one last chance to continue his ascent up the Overall table. He will need 514 points to move into 15th so all 10 wickets and a double century will do it

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 90 - Bit of a quiet week for Jadeja despite the two games. One of the big stars of the final could just have one more last trick to pull.

5. Jonny Bairstow - 89 - Saved his 'best' til last. A cautious knock of 59 ends his World Cup with him just nudging into fifth spot.

Overall

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 4846 - His flexi-time approach to this World Cup continued this week as he missed their final game. Retains top spot but has a lead of just 82.

2. Shubman Gill - 4764 - Gill does not like second place. he has not spent a single week outside our Top 5 this year but has only spent 3 weeks in 2nd and never spent more than 1 week in that position. Could he add to his 15 weeks spent at Number 1 next update?

3. Jos Buttler - 4636 - To say that Buttler has been disappointing this World Cup is something of an understatement. Perhaps it is quite poetic that he loses second place in his final outing.

4. Simon Harmer - 4432 - Genuinely impressive just how long he is holding on for. 57 points left in it though.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 4375 - Another week in fifth for Jadeja. You wouldn't expect anything less by now. He has a 339 point on Rashid Khan in 6th.

Other Movers

Perhaps surprisingly, Harry Brook did enough this week to move above the inactive Hardik Pandya to regain 14th place.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer - 184.67
2. Shakib Al Hasan - 156.32
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 150.97 (Down from 153.14)

Shubman Gill's top scoring week sees his average swell by 2.33 whilst Marco Jansen's high profile zero sees his drop by a rather cruel 3.7.
