On the back of a consistent show in the 2019 World Cup, England won their first-ever title in what transpired into one of the greatest cricket matches in history. At the completion of the game, New Zealand and England were tied on 241 and even went on to tie scores in the Super Over. However, England's superior boundary count handed them the title win in the end.
A number of world-class players excelled in the World Cup 2019. Rohit Sharma finished as the top run-scorer and Mitchell Starc ended the tournament as the highest wicket-taker. Kane Williamson was named as the Player of the Tournament.
Many of the top performers in this edition of the World Cup also featured in IPL 2019 before playing in this marquee event and carried their form into this tournament. However, there were a few others who had a poor IPL but excelled in the World Cup.
Here is the list of top performers in the World Cup from each team in the IPL 2019.
#8 Kings XI Punjab - Mohammed Shami (India)
Mohammed Shami was not in the playing XI at the beginning of the World Cup. He got a chance against Afghanistan after Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked up an injury during the match against Pakistan.
Shami took 14 wickets from four matches in the World Cup 2019. He also grabbed a hat-trick against Afghanistan and a five-wicket haul against England. He performed brilliantly in the World Cup but was dropped after he conceded too many runs in the death overs against Bangladesh. Shami was the second-highest wicket-taker for India after Jasprit Bumrah.
#7 Chennai Super Kings - Faf du Plessis (South Africa)
Faf du Plessis fought like a lone warrior for his national side in the World Cup 2019. When all of his teammates failed to score runs, he scored some quality runs for his team under pressure.
The skipper and the right-handed batsman performed well for the Proteas and scored 387 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 89.58. Du Plessis played his best innings of the tournament in their final group stage game where he scored a century against Australia.
#6 Delhi Capitals - Trent Boult (New Zealand)
Trent Boult was the key bowler for New Zealand all through the World Cup. The left-arm played a huge role in leading the pace attack for the Kiwis as he took 17 wickets in ten matches of the tournament and helped his team reach the finals.
He was the second bowler after Mohammad Shami to register a hat-trick in World Cup 2019 when he picked up the feat against Australia in a group stage match at Lord's. His other notable performance was an incisive 4/30 against the West Indies.
#5 Kolkata Knight Riders - Lockie Ferguson (New Zealand)
Lockie Ferguson was the leading wicket-taker for New Zealand in World Cup 2019 and the second-highest in the tournament after Mitchell Starc.
Ferguson was impressive throughout the tournament as he grabbed 21 wickets in nine matches. He clocked in some great speeds and consistently hit the 145 kph mark. He dismantled the opposition in the middle overs of the innings and took advantage of the pressure created by the opening bowlers.
#4 Royal Challengers Bangalore - Virat Kohli (India)
Virat Kohli is the number one ranked batsman of the world in ODI cricket. Although the Indian skipper was not able to convert his 50s into hundreds in the World Cup 2019, his five consecutive half-centuries went a long way in helping India to put up big totals.
Kohli scored 442 runs in nine matches in the tournament. He was able to control the innings along with the openers or in the middle overs but surprisingly did not notch up a single century all through the tournament.
#3 Rajasthan Royals - Ben Stokes (England)
Ben Stokes was the man in focus at the end of the summit clash as the all-rounder's fine show went a long way in England registering their title win. When the top-order failed to perform, he scored match-winning 84 runs to tie the game for England and also smashed 8 runs off three balls in the Super Over.
Overall, Stokes scored 465 runs in ten innings with five half-centuries in the tournament apart from which he also picked up seven wickets and took some stunning catches.
#2 Sunrisers Hyderabad - Kane Williamson (New Zealand)
Kane Williamson led his team from the front in the tournament. He was rightly adjudged as the Player of the Tournament at the end of the competition. The Kiwi skipper finished the tournament with a fantastic average of 82.57 and was the leading run-scorer for New Zealand.
Williamson scored 578 runs in his nine innings and finished fourth in the overall run-getters list. He saved his team from defeats in the matches against South Africa and West Indies by scoring centuries in both the games apart from which he also scored two half-centuries.
#1 Mumbai Indians - Rohit Sharma (India)
Rohit Sharma was the highest run-scorer of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. He created a new World Cup record by slamming four consecutive centuries in a single edition of the World Cup. His hundreds against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, South Africa, and Pakistan helped India win those matches, however, Rohit's century against England went in vain.
Rohit scored 648 runs in nine matches. Apart from five centuries in the tournament, he also scored a half-century against Australia in the league stage. Though he scored only 1 run in the crucial semi-final, his individual World Cup 2019 campaign was relatively a huge success.
