ICC Men’s T20 Player Ranking Updates
ICC Men’s T20 Batting Rankings
Suryakumar Yadav the dashing India batter, surpassed all other batters to take the top spot in T20 Internationals. All thanks to his outstanding recent performance. Yadav became only the second Indian player to hold the top T20I batter position after passing Pakistan opener Mohammad Rizwan. Earlier Virat Kohli was in the top spot for almost 3 years.
SKY has established himself as one of the top batters in the game’s shortest format. He is playing T20I for India since March of last year. In 37 appearances for his nation, Yadav has scored one century and 11 fifties.
Surya isn’t the only batter making waves after a great start to the T20 World Cup; left-hander Rilee Rossouw of South Africa. Dasher Glenn Phillips of New Zealand are also making striking inroads within the top 10.
In the most recent T20I batter rankings, Rossouw, 33, jumps a massive 17 spots to sixth overall after smashing a brilliant century against Bangladesh in Sydney. The only other New Zealand player higher of Phillips on the most recent list of batters is teammate Devon Conway (third), who also scored 104 against Sri Lanka at the SCG. Phillips climbs five spots to seventh position.
