India’s Ishan Kishan has claimed the top spot in the T20I batting rankings, surpassing Abhishek Sharma after a stellar performance at the ICC T20 World Cup. Kishan’s exceptional run included a standout innings against Pakistan in Colombo.
Abhishek Sharma, who held the No.1 position for nearly a year, now trails Kishan by a slim margin of seven rating points. Kishan joins an elite group of Indian batters, including Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav, to achieve this ranking in T20I cricket.
In Test cricket, Australia’s Travis Head has secured the top spot among batters for the first time in his career. This change follows England’s Harry Brook and Joe Root’s underwhelming performances in the Nottingham Test against New Zealand.
There have been notable shifts in the ICC Test rankings, with India’s Jasprit Bumrah reclaiming the No.1 position among Test bowlers. New Zealand’s victory over England has also propelled several Kiwi batters and bowlers up the rankings.
