Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, is in danger of relinquishing his spot as the best batter in T20 cricket to Suryakumar Yadav, who is closing in on the top spot.
The Indian player moved up three positions on the list to take the second spot among batters according to the most recent ICC T20 rankings. With only two points separating him from Babar, he now has 816 points.
During the T20I series between the Men in Blue and the West Indies, the Indian batsman has been in outstanding form for his team. As a result, he has earned a good ranking on the list.
His rapid rise has been fueled by a century against England in Nottingham last month and a stylish half-century against the West Indies on Tuesday, despite only making his international debut at the beginning of last year.
jeopardy as India
Given that India still has two games left to play in their five-match series against the West Indies, Yadav will likely have the opportunity to surpass Babar at the top of the standings over the upcoming week.
Since Pakistan’s next T20I match is against India at the Asia Cup at the end of the month, if he performs well in those games, he may surpass Babar as the top-ranked batter.
Veteran Pakistani Mohammad Rizwan dropped to third place after losing one position.
