1. Live Cricket Streaming Rohit Sharma had a memorable 2019 in ODI cricket. Starting his year with a hundred - 133 vs Australia at the SCG, albeit in a losing cause - the Indian opener was on a record-breaking spree. His tally of 1490 runs is the highest by an ODI batsman this year. Live Cricket Streaming Nearly 1500 runs and seven hundreds seems ridiculous even if you consider the current batting-friendly nature of the format. Like Rohit Sharma, Jason Roy also began his 2019 with a hundred - 123 against West Indies in a run chase of 361. The swashbuckling opener was a pivotal part of England’s blueprint to lift the World Cup and he did not disappoint. Amassing five of his seven hundreds in the World Cup, Rohit shattered Kumar Sangakkara’s record of four hundreds in the preceding World Cup edition. Live Cricket Streaming

2. His tally of 1490 runs in a calendar year is only bettered by Matthew Hayden (1601 in 2007) which makes him an automatic pick for the opener’s role in our ODI Team of the Year. Roy’s authority lies within the first 10 overs. Eoin Morgan had an unforgettable year both as captain and as a batsman. He ended England’s long wait to lift the ODI World Cup and led the side from the front with his batting performances. Setting up a ‘see the ball hit the ball’ approach for his side, Morgan showed the way himself batting with a strike-rate of 112.2 and yet maintaining an average in excess of 50. Live Cricket Streaming There were no

3. hundreds for him but seven fifties in 17 innings is a testimony to a strong year with the bat. He registered four 80s in the World Cup including a vital 84* in the final which will be etched as one of the greatest knocks in a World Cup final. He scored at an average of 105 with a strike-rate of 100.6 in the first powerplay this year which makes him the perfect foil to partner Rohit Sharma at the top who likes to bat with a measured approach at the start of an innings. Mitchell Starc played only 10 ODIs in 2019, all of them in the World Cup, but such was his impact in the tournament that overlooking him won’t be an ideal prospect. Live Cricket Streaming The left-arm seamer bowled crucial spells for Australia in the league stage- five for 46 versus West Indies, four for 55 versus Sri Lanka, four for 43 versus England and five for 26 versus New Zealand - taking wickets at key

4. moments in the game. His spell against England in particular shifted the game in Australia’s favor early in the innings when he dismissed Joe Root and Eoin Morgan in his spell with the new ball. Later, he came back to dismiss Ben Stokes with what was unofficially termed as the “Ball of the Tournament”. His 71-ball 148 against Afghanistan was one of the most famous knocks of the World Cup during which he broke the record for most sixes in an ODI innings (17). In the last 20 overs of ODI cricket this year, Morgan’s average and strike-rate shoots up to 58 and 141 respectively establishing him as the perfect number five. The second-highest wicket-taker in the World Cup, Lockie Ferguson was employed by New Zealand as their middle-overs specialist. Live Cricket Streaming He accounted for 43 percent of New Zealand’s scalps during the 11 to 40 over phase in the World Cup and overall took 19 wickets in 2019, the most by a pacer. Mohammed Shami comes close with 17 wickets and a better strike-rate and average but

5. falls behind Ferguson in the death overs phase where the Indian pacer has leaked at 8.1 runs per over. Ferguson’s economy rate of 6.2 runs per over in the death helps him nail the third-seamer’s spot in the side. The World Cup triumph also hands him the captaincy of the side. Live Cricket Score Leaving the consequences of the Bristol brawl behind him, Stokes strung a number of consistent performances both with bat and ball.
