ICC T20I Rankings: Shreyas Iyer Soars 425 Places, India's Ishan Kishan Retains No 1 Spot

New Delhi: The T20 series against England may not have been good for Team India, but some Indian players have made big gains in the latest ICC rankings. Captain Shreyas Iyer has made the biggest leap in this series. Iyer is back in the rankings after climbing 425 places. This comeback after poor form is very important for him. Along with captaincy, now he has again come into discussion in ranking also.

How did Shreyas Iyer jump 425 places?

Shreyas Iyer has been rewarded for playing useful innings consistently during the England tour. Iyer, who returned to T20 international cricket after a long time, surprised everyone by jumping 425 places. This is considered to be one of the biggest jumps in the current ranking update.

Did Ishan Kishan retain the number 1 position?

In the latest rankings, Ishan Kishan remains the world's number 1 T20 batsman. After him, India's Abhishek Sharma is in second place. On the basis of consistently good batting, both the Indian players have retained their hold on the top two places.

How much benefit did the England players get?

The impact of the strong performance against India was also visible on the ranking of England's batsmen. Phil Salt, Harry Brook and other players have benefited from the latest update. Especially after the brilliant performance in the third T20 at Trent Bridge, England's batsmen have made a significant rise in the rankings.

How was the situation of Indian players?

Ishan Kishan still remains the world's number 1 T20 batsman. His form as a wicketkeeper-batsman has been consistently excellent. While young opener Abhishek Sharma is stuck at number two. One or two matches against England may have been flops, but on the basis of overall performance, he remains in the top 2. 

Who will keep an eye on now?

After the remaining matches of the T20 series, more big changes can be seen in the next ICC rankings. Many batsmen of both India and England teams are in excellent form. In such a situation, it will be a big challenge for Ishan Kishan to maintain the number-1 position and for Shreyas Iyer to further improve his ranking.
