A student from Brendon McCullum’s school of batsmanship, Roy has been a star for England in the last couple of years. The Surrey opener has played a colossal role in England’s transformation to a batting powerhouse. Whenever Roy fires at the top, England is more likely to win games and win them in some style. In his brief career so far, Roy has already notched up 3 centuries, all of them coming in winning causes. The fact that he averages 42 and strikes over 107 per 100 deliveries in victorious causes, is enough to justify the threat he carries for other teams. If Roy manages to put on a couple of matches winning performances for England, he will be counted in the modern day elite list of openers, comprising of David Warner, Rohit Sharma and Martin Guptill.
