The International Cricket Council (ICC) has released its latest ICC Rankings, and there are some big updates. In Test cricket, a well-known all-rounder continues to hold his No. 1 spot. At the same time, in T20 International (T20I) batting, a young Indian player has reached the top.
Abhishek Sharma: New No. 1 in T20I Batting
Abhishek Sharma, a 24-year-old Indian cricketer, is now the No. 1 batter in T20Is. He has taken the top position from Australia’s Travis Head, who was No. 1 for a year. Abhishek has 829 rating points, making him the third Indian to lead the T20I batting charts. Meanwhile, Travis Head is now second with 814 points.
This is a big moment for Abhishek in the ICC Rankings, showing his great form in T20 cricket. Also this is a big deal for Abhishek because before him only two Indian batters have achieved this feat. This puts him in the elite list with the batting greats like Virat Kohli and SuryaKumar Yadav.
Ravindra Jadeja: Still the Top Test All-Rounder
In the Test all-rounder ICC Rankings, Ravindra Jadeja remains the best. His recent game in Manchester helped him stay at No. 1. He took four wickets and scored an unbeaten 107 runs, earning 13 more rating points. Now, he has 422 points, which is 117 points ahead of Bangladesh’s Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who is in second place.
Jadeja also moved up in other rankings. He is now 29th among Test batters and 14th among Test bowlers. His all-round skills keep him at the top of the ICC Rankings. Jadeja is a key player in the Indian Test setup. He will continue to play atleast till the next WTC cycle.
