This week was a bumper one with 2314 points scored - the highest of the year to date. To get into the weekly Top 5 you needed 200+ points....let's see who cleared that bar.
Weekly Top 5
1. Sam Curran - 327 - Scored more points in a single County Championship game for Surrey than he did in his entire season for Chennai in the IPL. This bumper score, the joint fourth highest of the year, sees him move up from 11th to 7th in the Overall List.
2. Phil Salt - 308 - Salt was seemingly being iced out of RCB's title challenge but has shown the grit to come back and fight for his place - largely thanks to some high profile withdrawals. 3 games and 2 half centuries puts him move up from 14th to 8th in a very fluid midtable.
3. Harry Brook - 296 - Scored more points this week than he has done in the last 20 weeks of 2025. This is the start of a very busy Summer for the All Format Englishman. You suspect his move from rock bottom to 19th is just the start.
4. Heinrich Klaasen - 239 - Has been frustratingly inconsistent for Hyderabad in this year's IPL. With 987 points across the tournament you cannot begrudge him too much but he ended the tournament with a bang courtesy of a blockbuster 100 against Kolkata.
5. Liam Dawson - 223 - After a mere 76 point a fortnight ago against Warwickshire, Dawson made up for it with 168 versus Sussex and then topped it up with 55 in a T20 Blast Warm up game for Hampshire 2nd XI versus Middlesex Second XI.
Overall Top 5
1. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 1872 - Disappointed in her first foray as captain with a mere 40 Fielding points but was back to her best in the following two T20s. This week's 182 saw her reclaim the top berth she lost 3 weeks ago.
2. Ravindra Jadeja - 1788 - Ended this year's IPL (and maybe his IPL career) with a decent score of 91 courtesy of two wickets and 21 runs against Gujarat. He drops down one place.
3. Jos Buttler - 1665 - A disappointing score of just 5 runs in his final game for Gujarat but a decent quick(ish) 37 against West Indies for England sees him move up into the Top 3.
4. Heinrich Klaasen - 1640 - Klaasen's huge weekly score sees him return back into the Top 5 after 3 weeks away. Difficult times lie ahead as he seems to be out of favour internationally but what a gun to hire if that is his chosen route now.
5. Nicholas Pooran - 1637 - Started the IPL like his life depended on it but then fell away. Ending the tournament with a weekly score of 13 and just holding off Liam Dawson by 15 point seems about right.
Other Movers
In lower scoring weeks we would be screaming their achievements from the rooftops but Rishabh Pant (178) and Travis Head (143) don't make the cut this week. They do, however, move up with the Indian up 3 to 18th and the Aussie up 1 to 15th.
Top 3 Averages
1. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 156 (Up from 153.67)
2. Sam Curran - 153.8 (Up from 134.56)
3. Chamari Athapaththu - 143.6
Some huge swings this week. Harry Brook's lack of cricket and is huge change in form sees his average bump by 32.13 to 82.13. Saim Ayub's 0 sees his depreciate by 10.35 to 62.
