World Cup 2019: Ranking the top five batsmen of the tournament

#4 Jonny Bairstow - 532 runs

Jonny Bairstow was at the front of England's resurgence in the tournament

Jonny Bairstow has been one of the best batsmen in the ODIs in the last few years. At one stage, England seemed to be struggling to even qualify for the semi-finals. Critics and fans started to question if the English team could handle the pressure, but Bairstow came out in style and silenced the doubters, particularly aiming former English cricketers Michael Vaughan and Kevin Pietersen.

The right-handed batsman scored two centuries in the last two matches of the group stage against India and New Zealand to help his team qualify for the semi-finals, bringing England back to their aggressive ways.

While he failed to put a big score in the final, he scored a stroke-filled half-century against a Mitchell Starc-led bowling line-up in the semi-final to give England the momentum ahead of the final.
