KANE WILLIAMSON (NZ-C)
M: 10 | Runs: 578 | Ave: 82.57 | 100s: 2 | 50s: 2 | SR: 74.96 | HS: 148

Kane Williamson will be a heartbroken man despite winning the Man of the Tournament award for his leadership and 578 runs in the World Cup. He was a one-man army as far as Kiwi batting is concerned as he slammed two match-winning centuries against South Africa and the West Indies. His captaincy was amazingly well right into the finals, following the strategy of batting first and defending the totals.

JOE ROOT (ENG)
M: 11 | Runs: 556 | Ave: 61.77 | 100s: 2 | 50s: 3 | SR: 89.56 | HS: 107

England’s Joe Root was probably their best batsman in the early part of the World Cup, as he slammed two amazing centuries, one of which came in a nerve wreaking chase against Pakistan. His contributions towards the end tapered off a bit, but he had done his job at the start and also played an assuring knock of 49* in the semis against Australia.

JONNY BAIRSTOW (ENG-WK)
M: 11 | Runs: 532 | Ave: 48.36 | 100s: 2 | 50s: 2 | SR: 92.84 | HS: 111

Jonny Bairstow made 532 runs in 11 matches including two centuries in crucial encounters which were must-win for England, against India and New Zealand. His centuries ensured that the home side kept themselves alive in the tournament. Bairstow maintained his stature as England’s man to go in crisis with these two knocks and overall outings including two fifties as well.
