Wanindu Hasaranga is once again ranked first among male T20I players by the ICC

In the most recent update to the ICC Men’s T20I Player Rankings, Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has reclaimed the top spot for bowlers, while India’s Suryakumar Yadav has maintained his status as the best batter. Both of these achievements came as a result of the most recent rankings update.

Wanindu Hasaranga performance against England in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup saw him capture two wickets for 23 runs, bringing his total for the tournament to 15. This allowed him to move ahead of Rashid Khan of Afghanistan, who is also a leg-spinner, in the rankings chart.

According to the information provided by the International Cricket Council (ICC), it is interesting to note that Wanindu Hasaranga took the top rank for the very first time after his exploits in the most recent iteration of this competition held in the United Arab Emirates and Oman.

Yadav, who has a total of 225 runs in the tournament so far, scored 30 against Bangladesh and a match-winning 61 off of 25 balls against Zimbabwe to add six rating points to his tally and reach a career-best 869 points, which is 39 more than Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan. Yadav has scored a total of 225 runs in the tournament so far.

The New Zealander Devon Conway is currently in third place, 90 points behind Yadav, while the Pakistani captain Babar Azam is four spots further down in fourth place, seven points behind Conway.

Both Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa of Australia advanced in the rankings after taking two wickets against Afghanistan. Both of these bowlers are from Australia. While Hazlewood has moved up one spot to take the third spot, Zampa has moved up two spots to take the fifth spot. The English spinner Adil Rashid has also made it into the top ten, and the Indian Ravichandran Ashwin has moved up five spots to take the thirteenth position after taking three wickets for Zimbabwe.

Both Pakistan’s Shaheen Shah Afridi and India’s Arshdeep Singh, who bowl left-arm fast, have shown substantial improvement in recent seasons. After taking seven wickets combined against South Africa and Bangladesh, Shaheen has moved up 20 spots to the 22nd position on the list of highest wicket takers. After making four positions, Arshdeep is now in a career-high 23rd position, which is just one spot behind Shaheen’s previous best.
