Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan across all categories, has maintained his top status in the most recent ICC T20I rankings as India’s Suryakumar Yadav struggled in the most recent two T20Is against the West Indies.
Due to his inability to pass Babar in the fourth T20I and his rest in the final T20I, Suryakumar Yadav lost ground in the most recent ranking updates.
Babar is still the only batter in the world who has a top-five ranking in each of the game’s three versions. Babar is ranked first in ODIs and T20Is and third in tests.
Meanwhile, Babar’s opening T20I partner, Mohammad Rizwan, is rooted at the third spot in the T20I rankings with Suryakumar Yadav at the second spot. Both the Pakistani batters have been unable to extend their lead at the top as they have only played 1 T20I in 2022 while other teams have been playing T20Is constantly.
Virat Kohli, a former Indian captain, is now placed 32nd in T20Is while still holding the 12th and 5th spots in Tests and One Day Internationals, respectively, rankings in international cricket.
With little international cricket played during the previous week, there were no further significant changes in rankings across all three formats.
