Jason Roy (opener, England): He did not play every single match because of a hamstring injury, but England won whenever he scored runs. His presence at the other end seemed to free up Jonny Bairstow at the top of the order, underlining his importance to the team. Roy scored 443 runs, but what made him dangerous was that he batted at a strike-rate of 115.36. Getty Images
