Kohli remains static at 5th place in the T20 ranking
India captain Virat Kohli and senior opener K. L. Rahul maintained their 5th and 7th places respectively in the latest ICC’s ranking for T20 batsmen. Pakistan’s Mohammed Rizwan made an entry into the top-10. The 28-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman’s unbeaten knocks of 82 and 91 in the first and third match, respectively, have helped him gain five slots to reach 10th position, overtaking the likes of England captain Eoin Morgan and India opener Rohit Sharma.
Rizwan is the second-highest ranked Pakistan batsman in the list, only behind captain Babar Azam, who is now in third place. The list is still topped by England’s Dawid Malan with 892 points while Aron Finch is placed second with 830 points. However, India has no representation in the top-10 of either bowlers or all-rounder’s list. In the list of Test batsmen, Kohli is again placed 5th while Rohit Sharma is tied 7th at the moment.
Kane Williamson is still holding the pole position among Test batsmen while Pat Cummins (908) has a significant (48 points) lead at the top among bowlers over India’s R. Ashwin (850).
