Babar Azam has surged to the fourth position in the latest ICC T20I batsmen rankings update, securing 763 rating points. This climb comes on the back of his impressive consecutive half-centuries in the first two matches of the five-game T20I series against New Zealand, where he notched scores of 57 and 66. Despite Babar’s stellar performances, Pakistan experienced defeats in both contests.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Rizwan maintained his third position in the rankings with 775 rating points, despite posting scores of 25 and 7 in the first two matches against New Zealand. India’s Suryakumar Yadav continues to lead the rankings with 869 points, while Phil Salt holds the second position with 802 rating points.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has made a notable upward move, climbing seven places to the sixth position with 739 rating points after his remarkable innings of 68 off 34 balls against Afghanistan. He closely trails Aiden Markram, who occupies the fifth spot with 755 rating points.
Turning to the bowling front, Haris Rauf maintains his status as the highest-ranked Pakistani bowler, rising two places to the 14th position with 634 rating points. This elevation is attributed to his exceptional performance, taking five wickets in the first two games against New Zealand. On the other hand, Shaheen Afridi slipped one place to 24th with 600 rating points, while Shadab Khan descended four positions to 25th after being absent from the New Zealand series.
