David Warner
Warner had a superb comeback in the international cricket. After scoring 600 plus runs for SRH in IPL 2019, Warner continued his good form in this world cup too.

Shakib Al Hasan
A premiere and the number 1 all-rounder for a reason. Shakib’s all-round performance gave some hopes to the Bangladeshi fans. He is the first Bangladeshi player to score 606 runs and take 11 wickets in a single edition. Shakib also scored two back to back hundreds for Bangladesh.

He had an average of 86.57 and strike rate of 96.03 with 5 fifties to his name.
Kane Williamson
The best captain and a player for the Blackcaps. Williamson is a modern-day great alongside Kohli, Root, and Smith. Kane is a thorough Gentleman off the field. He played some very marvellous knocks under pressure. His knock of 106 not out against South Africa and 148 runs knock against the Windies came when his team needed it the most. After the top order fell early and the middle order didn’t come good, it was the skipper Kane Williamson who stood tall and guided his team through to a win. Williamson was a deserved winner of this ICC World Cup 2019, but the hosts were too lucky as they became the world champions. Williamson scored the most number of runs by any captain in the world cup history. He is the first captain to score 578 runs as a captain.

Joseph Edward Root
Another Modern-day batsman who is amongst runs in this world cup. Root is the key man for England in the number 3 position. He has made that slot to his name in this tournament. Root batted well, but, he looked scratchy too at times. The prime example of that is the innings against New Zealand in the final. Root has played 11 matches and has scored 556 runs with two hundreds and 3 fifties to his name. He averaged 61.77 and a strike rate of 89.53.
Johnny Bairstow
England made a comeback because of the two back to back centuries by Johnny Bairstow. In the crunch game against India and New Zealand, Bairstow scored a wonderful hundred which sealed the game for England both times. His partnerships with Jason Roy was the key. Bairstow didn’t find any rhythm when Jason Roy was not playing due to his injury. But once Roy was back, Bairstow’s form also came back. England started winning again. Johnny Bairstow played 11 matches and scored 532 runs at an average of 48.36 with a strike rate of 92.84. Johnny scored 2 centuries and 2 half-centuries to his name.

Jason Roy 
Another opener who made terrific runs in this world cup. Jason Roy truly moved England when he was out of the squad for some time. When he came back in the playing XI, England started winning again. Roy was the go-to Boy for England. He missed out on scoring 100 many times but he did a very good job in this world cup. Roy scored 443 runs in 9 matches with just 1 hundred. He could have easily scored another ton against Australia in that semi-final but he was wrongly given out in the match. Roy had 4 fifties with the strike rate of 115.36 and with an average of 63.28.
Virat Kohli
The Indian skipper didn’t have a great tournament. He could have done better as a skipper of the team. Kohli scored 5 back to back fifties in this tournament, which is a record for Team India. But he didn’t score a single hundred. In the 9 matches Kohli played, he scored 443 runs with an average of 55.37 and a strike rate of 95.05.
