Top Five Highest Run-Scorers In ICC Champions Trophy 2013

ICC Champions Trophy 2013 was the seventh edition of the tournament. India registered the victory in this tournament under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. The Men in Blue were second time entitled the winners of this tournament as they first time lifted the trophy in 2002 under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly.

India faced the host England in the grand finale of the tournament. In the rain-curtailed match, India was all out for 129 runs as the match was reduced to 20 overs per side. England were favourites to win but Ishant Sharma’s masterstroke at right time led India to lift the trophy. 

During the tournament, several records were built by batsmen and bowlers. Here, in this article, we have named the five highest scorers in the ICC Champions Trophy 2013.

Team India’s opener and left-hand batsman Shikhar Dhawan has played a significant role for his side at the mega event. He has been one of the mainstays of India for a long time and forms an impregnable top-order along with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli

In the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 winning campaign, he was the highest scorer for India as well as overall. He amassed 363 runs in five matches at an average of 90.75 with the striking rate at 101.39. He also registered two centuries during the tournament.

The former top-order batsman Jonathan Leonard Trott was the prominent player for England at the peak of his career. He heavily scored for them in his side in shorter formats and became the then fastest player to reach 1000 runs in ODIs by achieving it in 21 matches. He also flourished in the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 where his team reached the finals but had an unfortunate end.

Trott was the highest scorer for England and second highest in the Champions Trophy 2013. He bagged 229 runs in five matches at an average of 57.25 and a striking rate of 91.60.

The Sri Lankan former captain and cricketer Kumar Sangakkara was the cornerstone of his team. He had a pivotal role in building the team after his teammate Mahela Jayawardene stepped down from the post. His constant performance with the bat brought laurels for him and his team. 

In the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, he was the highest scorer for his side and the third-highest overall. He registered 222 runs in four matches at an average of 74.00 with the striking rate of 80.14. Sri Lanka had a disheartening end as they lost the semifinal against India.

India’s white-ball vice-captain Rohit Sharma has always delivered match-winning knocks for India. His innings mostly decided the game scenario for the team. The right-hand batsman has played plenty of innings for India under pressure and leads them to victory. 

The hitman enjoyed immense success in the ICC Champions Trophy 2013. He was promoted to the opener position in this tournament and registered his first double hundred in ODIs. Rohit was the fourth highest scorer in the tournament, amassing 177 runs in five matches.

Virat Kohli is the run machine for India. He plays a pivotal role in India’s victory at crucial stages. Batting at No.3, he has delivered several memorable knocks for India at mega-events. He was also a significant contributor for the team in the ICC Champions trophy 2013 winning campaign.
