Top picks:
Wicketkeeper: Shai Hope (10 Cr)
Shai Hope is now a permanent member of the West Indies team in all formats. The wicketkeeper-batsman is having an outstanding series with the bat in hand where he is the leading run-getter with 120 runs in just two innings which also include 77 not out in the series opener.
All-rounder: Roston Chase (8.5 Cr)
Roston Chase is now beginning to cement his place in the West Indies ODI team. The 27-year-old is having an outstanding series for the visitors, both with bat and ball as he is currently the second-highest run-getter with 103 runs and is also the leading wicket-taker with five scalps.
Batsman: Nicholas Pooran (8.5 Cr)
Nicholas Pooran is being termed by many as one of the best young batsman in white-ball cricket. The 24-year-old showed just that in the second ODI where he scored a brilliant 67 off just 50 balls, which also earned him the player of the match award.
Bowler: Rashid Khan (9.5 Cr)
Rashid Khan is being termed as the best leg-spinner in the world. However, the 21-year-old is having a very average series with the ball in hand according to his own high standards where he has only managed to claim a single wicket in two matches at a strike-rate of 120.
Captaincy options: Shai Hope, Roston Chase, Rashid Khan
