Mumbai: ICC has released the latest update of T20 batting rankings, and India’s batsmen are once again in the headlines. Explosive opener Abhishek Sharma remains at the No. 1 spot, but there has been a slight decline in his ratings. Due to some low scores in the series against New Zealand, his rating is now 917, which was earlier 929. Nevertheless, there is a considerable distance between him and England’s Phil Salt (834 rating) at number 2, which makes it clear that Abhishek will enter the T20 World Cup 2026 as the world’s number 1 batsman.

Tilak Verma got a shock

Indian middle order star Tilak Verma has suffered a loss in this update. Due to not being able to play New Zealand series matches, he has slipped from third to fourth position. Phil Salt has jumped one place to take third place. Pathum Nissanka of Sri Lanka has also moved up one place to fifth place.

Great comeback of Suryakumar Yadav

Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav has again shown wonders. Thanks to his sharp innings against New Zealand, he has moved up one place to number 6, where his rating has increased to 728. After being out of the top 10 some time ago, he is now very close to the top 5. His form has brought great relief to the team before the World Cup.

Ishaan Kishan’s explosive performance

Ishaan Kishan is making the most headlines! Ishaan, who returned to the team after a long time, surprised everyone by scoring a brilliant century in the last T20 against New Zealand. The impact of this explosive innings is clearly visible on the rankings – he has jumped 32 places in one go and has directly reached 32nd position. His rating is now 584. This performance shows how well Ishaan has grabbed the opportunity he got.
