New Delhi: India’s T20 specialist Suryakumar Yadav has maintained the top position in the latest T20I men’s rankings revealed on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Babar Azam has jumped one spot to take the third place in the rankings list following his good performance in the home series against New Zealand.

Azam scored 125 runs in the T20I series with an average of 31 and strike rate of 138 in the five-match affair which ended 2-2, with the opener washed out. The Pakistan skipper, who held the number one position untill Suryakumar took it away last year, has 763 rating points, just 98 points fewer than the India batter.

Babar, who experienced a tough phase with the willow since the ODI World Cup, played a match-winnings knock for Pakistan in the final T20I against the Kiwis. The swashbuckling batter played a 69-run knock in the final game of the series to help Pakistan level.

Meanwhile, England’s Phil Salt, who has been in sensational form for the Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024, is at the No. 2 spot with 802 rating points, 18 more than 3rd-placed Mohammad Rizwan. Babar went to No. 4, replacing South Africa’s Aiden Markram who has dropped to No. 5.
