India star India player Hardik Pandya re-claimed the top spot in the T20I all-rounders' list while rising star and teammate Tilak Varma made a massive jump of 69 position to occupy the third place among batsmen list in the latest ICC men's player rankings.
Pandya pushed England’s Liam Livingstone and Nepal’s Dipendra Singh Airee to book his top spot in the T20 all-rounder charts. The ranking comes following his performance in the recently concluded T20 in South Africa, where the 31-year-old produced some eye-catching efforts with both bat and ball.
His innings of 39 not out in the second game of the four-match series helped balance India's innings, while his spell of 1/8 from three overs during the decisive fourth contest ensured his side claimed an impressive 3-1 series triumph.
It is the second time Pandya has held the No.1 ranking for T20I all-rounders, while Tilak Varma shot up to the third position jumping a massive 69 places in the batting list following his two centuries and 280 runs for the series against the Proteas.
Varma is lined with star skippers from all round the world, for instance, he is behind No.1-ranked T20I batter Travis Head and England's Phil Salt which leads to him being the highest-rated batter from India. While, skipper Suryakumar Yadav dropped one spot to fourth behind him.
Teammate Sanju Samson -- who also managed two centuries during the series with South Africa -- climbs 17 spots to 22nd on the same list for T20I batters.
Australian duo Adam Zampa and Nathan Ellis are among the biggest movers on the updated rankings for T20I bowlers, with India seamer Arshdeep Singh gaining three places to move to ninth and a new career-high rating following his efforts against South Africa.
