Yashasvi Jaiswal - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 Weekly Top 5

1. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 164 - By his high standards of 2024, Jaiswal has had an underwhelming IPL season but reminded us all of his good form with his solitary outing against Mumbai this week. Surprisingly his first Cricketer of the Week award of the year.

2. Travis Head - 150 - Is making it all look very easy. Carried on his good form from last week into a score of 89 against Delhi and his third successive Top 5 finish. Up a place to 8th overall.

3. Simon Harmer - 129 - Almost silently grinding away like an illustrious beaver in the County Championship. Not drawing huge amounts of accolades but piling on triple figure weekly scores. Up another place to 19th this week.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 123 - Jadeja must have been drooling at the prospect of the second match against Lucknow after he scored 97 in the first match....ultimately flopped in the second outing to finish in fourth place.

5. Virat Kohli - 119 - Continually piling on scoreboard pressure at the bottom half of the overall table with successive triple figure weekly scores. Up 3 places to 13th; this week's biggest mover.

Overall Top 5

1. Babar Azam - 1988 - Three T20s this week and only 86 points to show for it. His lead is down to a mere 428.

2. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 1560 - His weekly high score pushes him away from the chasing pack. Shared second place last week and now has a 148 point lead on third.

3. James Vince - 1412 - Only 6 runs against Warwickshire this week but still manages to just about hold onto third place.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 1389 - Fell out of the Top 5 last week but has burst straight back up to fourth spot this week thanks to his three figure weekly score.

5. Chamari Athapaththu - 1379 - After her record breaking week last week, 36 points for a game against Thailand seems rather flat. Plenty more cricket in the Women's T20 World Cup Qualifiers though.

Other Movers

Phil Salt's blistering knock of 48 off 14 sees him finish 6th for the week but move up a place to 14th.

Ones to Watch

The closest gap this week is between two Chennai flops. There is two points difference between Moeen Ali in 15th and Daryl Mitchell in 16th.

Top 3 Average Points per Active Week

1. Babar Azam - 180.73 (Down from 190.2)
2. Jos Buttler - 140.33 (Down from 151)
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 138.9 (Down from 140.67)

Simon Harmer moves up the most with a 7.53 point improvement to 77. Harry Brook's embryonic average was always going to drop but his score of just 3 this week sess it deflate by 51.33 points.
