Young Indian opener Abhishek Sharma leads the batters' list with 925 rating points, ahead of England’s Phil Salt and Tilak Verma. T20 skipper Suryakumar Yadav is the only other Indian in the top 10, holding the eighth spot.
“Abhishek Sharma was the leading run-scorer for India during the Asia Cup earlier this year.”
Spinner Varun Chakravarthy continues to dominate the T20I bowlers' rankings. Australia’s Josh Hazlewood climbed two places to 10th, boosted by his performances at home against India. Chakravarthy is followed by West Indies’ Akeal Hosain and Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan.
Varun Chakravarthy is the only Indian bowler ranked in the top 10.
Hardik Pandya is the sole Indian in the top 10 all-rounders, positioned fourth. The list is led by Pakistan’s Saim Ayub, followed by Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza and West Indies’ Roston Chase. Pakistan demonstrates strong momentum with several players improving just months ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
