#3 Aiden Markram
The South African prodigy has had a roller coaster year so far. He started this year with a below average performance against India, scoring at an average of 23.33 and managing just one fifty-plus score. He managed to come back into form in the series against Australia later in the year where he managed to score 480 runs at an impressive average of 60 including 2 centuries.
Subsequently, in July he had a horrific series in Sri Lanka where he scored a dismal 40 runs in 2 matches, continuing the tradition of foreign batsmen's troubles in the sub-continent.
He is at the 3rd place among top run scorers with 660 runs in 9 matches this year at an average of 36.66.
