The world’s number 1 batter in the T20i format, Suryakumar Yadav has bettered his lead after scoring a half-century against South Africa in the second T20I at Gqeberha. He currently leads with 865 rating points.
Captaining the Indian side, Suryakumar led from the front and scored 56-runs off 36 balls and gained 10 rating points. Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan (787 rating points) and South Africa's Aiden Markram (758) trail the Indian power hitter on the list.
Suryakumar rose to the top during the most recent T20 World Cup in Australia. Based on his present performance, it seems possible that the Indian batsman will maintain his lead position through the West Indies and USA event the following year.
Reeza Hendricks, the opener for South Africa, is one player who has also gained momentum on the list. He moved up to eighth place after scoring 49 runs against India. Meanwhile, Indians Tilak Varma, who has moved up 10 spots to 55th place, and Rinku Singh, who has moved up 46 places to equal 59th place, are also players who are climbing up the ranks.
In the bowlers rankings, India’s Ravi Bishnoi lost his top spot to Afghanistan's Rashid Khan as he was not selected for the South African tour. Proteas spinner Tabraiz Shamsi has also made some impressive progress, moving up two spots to 10th after an economical spell of 1/18 in their most recent match.
In the most recent T20I all-rounder rankings, India's left-armer Kuldeep Yadav climbs five spots to rank 32nd, while Markram moves up two spots to rank second, only behind Ravindra Jadeja.
