Jansen is the outright overall player of the tournament so far

Don't agree with this, or that he's the young player of the tournament. Most valuable, maybe, given he's an all-rounder...runs at 37 and wickets at 24 is great, but not head-spinningly so. I'd put de Kock, Ravindra, Zampa and probably Shami/Bumrah/Jadeja ahead of him overall.

Not buying that, too interested in his own stats. He'd never bat the way Kane did against Pakistan, holing out on 95. He'd tick over 5 singles, he'd fail to accelerate. Kohli has played 8 innings and only one at a run a ball, in a high scoring tournament. Only one in the top 15 run scorers striking at less than 90 per 100 balls. Yes I know he's playing a role with firepower around, yes I'd take him for my team, but just something about the way he goes about it makes me not want him as the numero uno.

Last game at Kolkata, his approach was not wrong at all, especially given the start Ind had. You needed a set batter to remain, and the result of the match justified his approach. Kohli’s not played on a track as flat as Bangalore(the only one close was Wankhede, where he didn’t waste balls to get to his hundred). Vs NZ, he’d practically won the Ind the match before he got out, and legit turned down one single only. And vs Bang, he literally accelerated to get to his hundred, thus bettering the NRR. One more reason his SR is low, cause of the Aus game.

Player of the tournament would be someone who did something special in atleast semi-final or Final . There is a reason last time neither Rohit nor Shakib won it but Kane Williamson won it .

Has this rung true throughout history? I know Jayasuriya got it in '96 despite flopping in the SF and F lol. Aravinda robbed
