One of England's most destructive player in recent times, Jonny Bairstow is one of the most improved cricketers for England in the white-ball format. He is a surely the flag-bearer for England at the top of the order, helping his side keep the killer instinct alive and kicking in the world cricket.

In recent past, Bairstow has evolved his games to suit the attacking style of batting. Many have argued that his developed approach has made it difficult for him to get going in the longer formats of the game.

However, the right-handed batsman has enjoyed every bit of his success in ODI cricket. England's Test wicket-keeper has been the major positive for the hosts of the forthcoming World Cup next year.

His recent flourish of form has encouraged him to stay put with his approach and back his instincts to continue playing the same way for England. Jonny, who is currently ranked tenth in the ODI rankings has the potential to rise ten places to overtake Kohli as the best ODI player.
