#2 Jason Roy - England

One of the most destructive openers in ODI cricket, Jason Roy announced his arrival in the ongoing World Cup with a scintillating 121-ball 153 against Bangladesh that earned him heaps of praise from pundits and fans alike.
Having already notched up a fifty against South Africa, Roy fell for just 8 against Pakistan and was in line for a big knock. With the Bangladesh bowlers unable to hit the right lengths, Roy went on a hitting spree, peppering boundaries with ease.
Roy did start slow though, as he reached his fifty in 38 balls and his hundred from 92 balls but soon picked pace, adding a further 53 runs in just 29 balls. Roy finished with 153 runs from 121 balls, including 14 fours and five sixes.
From three matches now, Roy has 215 runs at an average of 71.67 and a strike rate of 118.78.
