All-rounders and Wicket-keeper
#5 Shakib Al Hasan - Bangladesh
Shakib Al Hasan once again proved why he is one of the top all-rounders in the world. Ahead of the competition, the Bangladesh team management handed Shakib an opportunity to play at number 3 and the senior pro did not disappoint them.
The 32-year-old was in sublime form throughout the tournament and scored 606 runs in just 8 games at an outstanding average of 86.57. He was equally effective with the ball, picking up 11 wickets.
#6 Ben Stokes - England
In the first half of the tournament when the going was tough for England, one player who did not put his head down was Ben Stokes. Stokes was excellent with the bat and efficient with the ball.
The 28-year-old scored 468 runs in 11 games with an average of 66.85. He also took seven wickets in the tournament, playing a pivotal role in England's journey to the finals. Stokes, however, saved his best for the finals where he essayed a magnificent knock, a 98-ball 84 to help England cross the line.
#7 Alex Carey (wk) - Australia
Alex Carey was Australia's crisis man in the World Cup. With Australia's middle-order failing on most occasions, Carey walked in to bat with his team under pressure. The wicket-keeper responded brilliantly and played some counter-attacking knocks, scoring a total of 375 runs at an average of 62.50.
