Weekly Top 5
1. Ravindra Jadeja - 352 - Jadeja is playing by last year's playbook. Don't play very often...but when you do; dominate. And such was the case last week with a century plus 8 wickets. His eight Cricketer of the Week accolade in his three years on our List.
2. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 294 - Certainly making a very impressive start to 2024 with another quickfire double hundred. This from a player who was seen as more of a short form specialist too!
3. Babar Azam - 240 - Death, taxes and half centuries from Babar Azam in the PSL. He is 2 for 2 in this regard this week and you wouldn't bet against him getting a fistful more before the end of the tournament.
4. Mitchell Marsh - 218 - After such a fantastic year last year, Marsh has failed to impress in 2024....until this week. He added almost 100 points to his previously week high score for the year thanks to one high score and one impactful one against New Zealand. Moves up to 13th overall.
5. Travis Head - 139 - Makes his debut in the weekly Top 5 after a period away with injury. Scores of 24 at a decent lick and 45 at a phenomenal lick see him edge into recognition this week. Despite this he does move down to 17th place overall.
Overall Top 5
1. Babar Azam - 1133 - You always felt that, with the PSL on the horizon, that Babar's spell away from top spot might be limited. And so it came to pass. Only a week in silver medal position before returning back to the summit.
2. James Vince - 1026 - The step up in class from the ILT20 to the PSL has seen Vince drop his week on week points by 145, his average by 9.32 and, most importantly, drop from first to second. Plenty more cricket to play though.
3. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 945 - His double century versus England sees Jaiswal move into his highest position thus far. The 147 points between him and 4th spot is the second most of any on the list, so he will be looking up and not down.
4. Jos Buttler - 798 - Inactive once more and is 70 points away from dropping out of the Top 5. Expect that to happen next week.
5. Rachin Ravindra - 795 - Showed that he could turn it on in all three formats of the game with a decent score in the solitary T20 he played against Australia. Being rested for the second game sees the young Kiwi drop to 5th spot this week.
Other Movers
Gill's performance in the third Test against England felt more impactful than the 121 points he scored for it - it did, however, see him move up a spot to 14th.
Top 3 Average Points per Active Week
1. Ravindra Jadeja - 210.33 (Up from 139.5)
2. Jos Buttler - 199.5
3. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 189 (Up from 162.75)
Just the 70 point boost to Jaiswal's average this week as he swells to 210.33. He spent a long period of 2023 with a plus 200 average before finishing with a not unimpressive 144.74. Smith's average decreases the most; down to 88.6.
