Virat Kohli - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Weekly Top 5

1. Virat Kohli - 196 - Virat's fine run scoring spell continues as he finishes top for the first time since 2021. He continues his rise up the overall list too. After spending 7 weeks in 21st , he went up a spot to 20th, then again to 19th and then a big leap up to 16th this week

2. Jos Buttler - 188 - Was in an awful run of form before the game against Bengaluru but gave us a taste of old school Jos. Leaps up to 7th place, arresting last year's top point scorer's slide down the overall List.

3. Ravindra Jadeja - 181 - Impressed with bat and ball again this week as he cements himself in the Weekly Top 5 for a third week in a row.

4. Harry Brook - Took him until April to get back into cricket but it was like the young man was never away. he takes his 2024 bow in fourth place for the week. Is just 173 points below Simon Harmer in 21st place in the Overall List. Can he reel that in next week?

5. Shubman Gill - 141 - One decent score and one good score sees last week's number 1 cricketer round off the weekly Top 5.

Overall Top 5

1. Babar Azam - 1901 - Inactive once more but is still acres out in front. His gap of 593 points to second is by some distance the largest in the entire list; Steve Smith's 200 point gap on Usman Khawaja is second.

2. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 1318 - Another underwhelming week for the Rajasthan boy, however he manages to jump up 2 places and get up to 2nd place....however there is a chasing pack breathing right down his neck.

3. Rachin Ravindra - 1312 - Has rather lost his early IPL form. He manages to hold third place despite the movement around him.

4. James Vince - 1277 - The English weather sess Vince drop to his lowest position in 9 weeks. Will be back in action this week an still has it all to play for with those above him still within touching distance.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 1256 - Yet another week in 5th place. This is now his 6th consecutive week in 5th. Only Azam's 9 week spell in 1st and Vince and Kohli's seven week spells in 2nd and 21st respectively has seen a player remain in one position longer.

Other Movers

Such is the tight crush just outside the Top 10 that a relatively modest score can see you move up a place. Such has been the case with Sam Curran (99 points) and Daryl Mitchell (78 points). they have both moved up a place and are in 11th and 13th respectively.

Top 3 Average Points per Active Week

1. Babar Azam - 190.2
2. Ravindra Jadeja - 157 (Up from 153.57)
3. Jos Buttler - 148.7 (Up from 142.17)

For the third consectuive week, Kohli has improved his average by the most. A month ago his average was 73.5 - it is now 141.2. Phil Salt's score of 0 sees his average drop the most - down 11.14 to 78.
