#1 Jonny Bairstow
The England batsmen are dominating this list like never before. After turning into an opener, Jonny Bairstow is having the time of his life as he has smashed centuries against really goods teams like New Zealand and Australia. First, in the series against New Zealand, Bairstow exploded with two powerful centuries and accumulated 302 runs in 5 innings with an average of 60.40.
Then, in the one-off ODI against Scotland, Bairstow scored 105 runs off 59 balls, accompanied by 12 fours and 6 sixes. He did not stop there, as he went on to score a brilliant century against Australia at Trent Bridge, in the 5-match ODI series.
Jonny has scored 970 runs this year already in just 19 innings with an average of 51.05 and a staggering strike-rate of 121.09. He also hit 4 centuries and 2 half-centuries, and it does not look like he is going to stop.
