Suryakumar Yadav retains his position in ICC T20 Ranking, but the position seems to be in danger
On one hand, the enthusiasm of the Indian Premier League is being seen across the country. On the other hand, ICC has also released new rankings of all formats including T20 cricket. A lot of changes are being seen after this ranking. Indian fans are relieved after the release of new rankings.
On the one hand, New Zealand’s Mark Chapman and Pakistan’s Iftikhar Ahmed reached career-high positions in the ICC T20 men’s rankings at the end of the five-match series after the new rankings were released. At the same time, Suryakumar Yadav, who has been occupying the top position in T20 cricket for a long time, by the name of Mr. 360 degree, still remains at the top position in T20 rankings.
However, for a long time, Surya Kumar Yadav has not been able to do anything special in the match. In such a situation, this chair of Suryakumar Yadav is in great danger. Suryakumar Yadav continues to top the rankings and is the only Indian in the top ten. But now the gap between number one and number two batsmen has reduced considerably. Surya Kumar Yadav does not have to play any new T20 match in the coming days. In such a situation, his chair seems to be in danger.
Chapman, who scored 290 runs in the series, jumped 48 places to reach 35th position. Earlier in February 2018, he reached the 54th position. On the other hand, Iftikhar, who scored 36 runs in the last match, has climbed six places to reach 38th position. Mohammad Rizwan is second and Babar Azam is in third place. Iftikhar had earlier reached the 43rd position in November last year. New Zealand’s Chad Bowes has moved up 82 places to 118th position, while Ish Sodhi has moved up to 14th position in bowling. Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim has gained 15 places to reach 127th position in the batsmen’s rankings while he has gained 120 places to reach 93rd position in the bowlers’ rankings. In the rankings for all-rounders, he has climbed 44 places to be at 24th position.
Suryakumar Yadav on top
As per the data, Surya Kumar Yadav continues to hold the top position with 906 ratings. At the same time, Mohammad Rizwan has come at number two, who has 811 ratings. In such a situation, there is not even a gap of 100 points left between the two players. The third place is occupied by Pakistan captain Babar Azam with 756 points.
Rashid’s magic in T20 rankings
In the bowlers’ rankings, Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan continues to top the rankings with a rating of 710. He is followed by Fazal Haq Farooqi with 692 marks. Josh Hazlewood is in the third place. The special thing is that no Indian player has found a place in the top 10 in the T20 rankings. Although Shakib Al Hasan is at the top of the list of all-rounders, Hardik Pandya’s number is in second place. Apart from Hardik Pandya, no player has got a place in this list of top all-rounders.
