Dubai: India’s aggressive batsman Suryakumar Yadav continues to top the latest T20 International batting rankings released by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday. An inning of 47 runs in the first match of the ongoing T20 International series against New Zealand in Ranchi had taken him to 910 rating points but he scored an unbeaten 26 in the second match of the series to see his rating drop to 908.
Suryakumar Yadav is also very close to England batsman David Malan’s record for the all-time best rating points among male T20 International batsmen. Malan scored 915 points in Cape Town in 2020. Suryakumar is second in the all-time list of highest rating points among T20 International batsmen.

Last year, Suryakumar reached the top of the T20 rankings after scoring 239 runs in six matches in the T20 World Cup. After this, he was also selected as the ICC’s best T20 cricketer of the year last month. Apart from Suryakumar, no other Indian batsman or bowler features in the top 10.
Hardik Pandya is third in the list of all-rounders. Mohammed Siraj continues to top the list of ODI bowlers. In the batsmen’s list, Shubman Gill remains sixth, Virat Kohli seventh and Rohit Sharma ninth. (agency)
