Babar Azam - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Overall points scored this week are back in the 1000+ category - but player points are reasonably modest. For the second week in a row nobody has beaten their personal best score for the year.


Weekly Top 5

1. Babar Azam - 270 - Absolutely loves his home T20 competition. He has 163 more runs than anyone else in the PSL and has accrued 954 points in the 4 weeks of the competition.

2. Mitchell Marsh - 170 - Has had a poor start to the year, but produces one decent innings and finishes in silver medal place for the week - 60 economy points from 9 overs of bowling isn't to be sniffed at either.

3. Shubman Gill - 150 - One final century in a decent series against England. He scored 622 points across the 5 Tests. Now a week off and on to the IPL.

4. Marnus Labuschagne - 126 - Shook off a pretty miserable run of form and struck a score of 90. His 126 is the first score of 100+ he has managed in the last 6 active weeks.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 106 - Always a banker to score 100+ points whenever he plays. Was a relatively quiet final test for Jadeja but will have plenty in his locker ready for the IPL.

Overall Top 5

1. Babar Azam - 1847 - Has an almost obscene 663 point lead on second place....however his Peshawar Zalmi team are now out of the PSL and is seemingly inactive until mid-April.

2. James Vince - 1184 - Finishes the PSL strongly and will now join up with Hampshire. Will spend a bit of time away from the game whilst the chasing pack will be filling their boots on the IPL circuit. Will be out of the Top 5 by the time the County Championship starts.

3. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 1182 - One last half century for Jaiswal in what has been a landmark series for the young man. Finished a mere 2 points off second place having started the series in 12th place.

4. Rachin Ravindra - 1040 - Continues to perform well with the bat for New Zealand and is the fourth player to breach the thousand point mark. His next challenge is to see if he can corner the market in the IPL. If so then we have a true superstar on our hands.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 952 - Comfortably 5th place for the second week in a row. The hap between himself and Jos Buttler in 6th is the second biggest of any in the List (154).

Other Mover

Aaron Hardie's 62 points in the Sheffield Shield seems modest but was enough for him to arrest his descent down the list and move into 15th.

Top 3 Average Points per Active Week

1. Babar Azam - 205.22 (Up from 184.63)
2. Jos Buttler - 199.5
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 190.4 (Down from 209.25)

Babar Azam is back up to an average of 200+ after another decent week. Chamari Athapaththu has another poor week and loses 19.9 points and now scores 129.5 points a week
