ICC Rankings: India batter Ruturaj Gaikwad has made a remarkable ascent in the latest ICC T20I rankings amongst batters after his brilliant show against Zimbabwe.
Promising young talent Abhishek Sharma - who slammed his maiden T20I ton in just his second international appearance - has also debuted in the ICC Rankings. While star India cricketer Hardik Pandya, previously at the pinnacle of the all-rounder rankings, has slipped to the second spot in the latest players and team rankings released by the ICC on Wednesday (July 10). ICC T20I Rankings For Batters: Ruturaj Gaikwad In Top 10 Ruturaj Gaikwad has climbed an impressive 13 places in the ICC T20I rankings following his stellar performances in the T20I series against Zimbabwe.
The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper's consistent batting has secured him a spot in the top 10 of the ICC Batting Rankings. Gaikwad's knock of 77 off 47 balls in India's commanding 100-run victory over Zimbabwe in the second T20I was a highlight of his recent form. As a result, Gaikwad has now reached the seventh position in the rankings, marking a significant milestone in his career. Suryakumar Yadav Remains No.2 Batter ICC T20 World Cup 2024 winner Suryakumar Yadav has retained his second place in the ICC Men's T20I batting rankings.
With 821 rating points, Suryakumar is only behind Australia's Travis Head, who leads with 844 points. The competition remains fierce, with England's Phil Salt (797 points), Pakistan's Babar Azam (755 points), Mohammad Rizwan (746 points), and England's Jos Buttler (716 points) all featuring in the top 10. Emerging Star Abhishek Sharma Debuts In ICC Rankings Indian youngsters Rinku Singh and Abhishek Sharma have also made noteworthy progress.
Rinku Singh's unbeaten 48 off 22 balls in the second T20I against Zimbabwe has propelled him up four places to the 39th spot. Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma's stunning century has earned him a debut entry into the rankings, securing the 75th position. Hardik Pandya Slips in All-Rounder Rankings In a surprising turn of events, Hardik Pandya has lost his top spot in the Men's T20I all-rounder rankings to Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga.
Pandya, who made history as the first Indian to top the all-rounder rankings, is now placed second. This shift occurred while Pandya was rested for the Zimbabwe T20I series, during which Hasaranga's performances elevated him to the number one position. Pandya is expected to return for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka, where he will aim to reclaim his top spot.
