Suryakumar Yadav - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

After the feast of cricket over the last month, a short but sweet one this week. Just a Top 3 for ya.

Weekly Update

1. Suryakumar Yadav - 148 - Disappointing in the World Cup Final but very decent in his first foray in captaining his national team. 148 is the lowest highest score of the week that anyone has had in 2023 - and the 13th lowest ever.

2. Pat Cummins - 80 - Cricket's Mr Nice Guy being the highest point scorer for the winning team of the ODI World Cup is a sight to see. Can't begrudge it too much.

3. Usman Khawaja - 53 - Two modest scores in the Sheffield Shield against Victoria. This would not get you anywhere near the Top 3 normally but here we are.

Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 4846 - Inactive this week and a very lucky boy to hold on to Top Spot. Could be in action at the end of this week in a Test match against New Zealand...but could also be injured.

2. Shubman Gill - 4778 - Not so much a damp squib in the World Cup final as a soaking wet squib. Could have taken top spot but now lags by 68 points. Might not be in action again until the 10th December.

3. Jos Buttler - 4636 - Inactive this week. Will be looking to get his form back in a white ball campaign in the West Indies starting on the 3rd of December.

4. Simon Harmer - 4432 - Literally who knows what's going on with Harmer but he's still clinging on.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 4404 - No pyrotechnics with either bat or ball in the World Cup final. Hard to say when he will next be in action. Could be as late as the 17th of December.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer - 184.67
2. Shakib Al Hasan - 156.32
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 146.8 (Down from 150.97)

Jadeja continues to descend but, luckily for him, so does Gill meaning he keeps his top three spot. SKY goes up the most - a modest improvement of 1.74 meaning he averages 97.53 a week.
