[ad_1]

NEW DELHI: India’s Suryakumar Yadav‘s purple patch helped him continue to own the top spot in the latest ICC T20I Batting Rankings while Hardik Pandya is within reach of top spot in the all-rounder rankings.
Pandya, who led India to series wins over Sri Lanka and New Zealand, dislodged Afghanistan’s Mohammad Nabi from the second spot and just two points away from top-ranked Shakib Al Hasan’s total ranking points of 252.
Pandya has progressed in all three lists. He has moved up from 53rd to 50th among batters, 66th to 46th among bowlers.
Surya continues to lead the batting list with 906 rating points. Shubman Gill made a huge jump after carrying his bat through the innings for a stunning 126* from 63 balls against New Zealand.
The 23-year-old Gill has surged a whopping 168 places from outside the top 100 in the T20I Batting Rankings to equal-30th after playing only six T20Is.
Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh also grabbed two early wickets as New Zealand were left reeling at 7/4 in just the third over.
The 24-year-old finished with 2/16 and has now risen eight spots in the T20I Bowling Rankings to 13th.
Virat Kohli has dropped a rung to the 15 position among batters, while KL Rahul slid two places (27th) and skipper Rohit Sharma was further behind in the 29th spot.
Young left-handed wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan has also dropped three places to 48th.
No Indian bowler, however, features in the top 10 T20 bowlers list.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar dropped a place to 21st, while Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel are static at 29th and 30th spots respectively.
Daryl Mitchell has gained four spots and is in joint-25th position in the latest weekly update that considers performance in the Ahmedabad match for T20Is and the final match of the South Africa-England series for the ODI rankings.
England captain Jos Buttler’s match-winning 131 in Kimberley has helped him progress six places to 20th position while South Africa fast bowler Lungi Ngidi has advanced five places to reach 19th position after finishing with four for 62 in the high-scoring match.
Dawid Malan (up 31 places to 58th among batters) and fast bowler Jofra Archer (up 13 places to 22nd among bowlers) are other England players to move up in the ODI rankings.
South Africa’s Heinrich Klaasen is up 11 places to 42nd among batters.
