Players from England and India have made a big jump in the ICC rankings after the exciting draw of the Manchester Test. At the same time, in the latest ranking of T20I batsmen, a new Khiladi has an entry as the number 1 batsman. Till now, the number 1 T20 batsman was Travis Head, who has reached number 2.
Abhishek Sharma made a bang in international cricket last year when he scored a brilliant T20I century against Zimbabwe. Recently, due to his best performance against South Africa and England, the 24 -year -old batsman has finished number 1 in the T20I rankings, overtaking his head.
The Head had surpassed Suryakumar Yadav behind the ICC Men T20 World Cup last year and was ranked on top since. But recently, Australia’s decision to stay out of the T20 series on the Caribbean tour against the West Indies was overshadowed by him and Abhishek got the benefit. In this way, Abhishek has become the third player of India to reach the top in the T20I rankings.
Suryakumar Yadav captured the first number 1 rankings from the head, while Virat Kohli was the first male player from India to maintain the number 1 rank in T20I cricket for a long time between 2014 and 2017.
England veteran batsman Joe Root has strengthened his grip in the Test batsmen rankings. He had played a brilliant innings of 150 runs in Manchester, due to which he has now become the second highest run -scorer in Test cricket, beating Australia’s legend Ricky Ponting. At the same time, Jasprit Bumrah remains the number 1 Test bowler.

India’s wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has also strengthened his position in the top-10 rankings of ICC Test batsmen. Despite the injury in the Manchester test, he has come up one rung to seventh due to scoring half -centuries. At the same time, the ranking of Yashasvi Jaiswal has declined. He has now reached the eighth number by slipping three places.
