Star India batter Suryakumar Yadav retained his top spot in the ICC Men’s T20I Player Rankings among batters while Shubman Gill rose to number 25 in the latest rankings issued on Wednesday.
Shubman Gill makes huge leap in rankings –
Suryakumar had a relatively quiet series by his lofty standards with two half-centuries and a total of 166 runs in four innings, but the right-hander maintained his healthy lead at the top of the T20I rankings for batters.
India teammate Shubman Gill rose 43 spots to equal 25th on the same list following his 102 runs for the series against the West Indies. He scored a match-winning 77 in the fourth T20I.
A host of West Indies stars have been further rewarded for their drought-breaking series victory over India by making giant strides on the latest rankings.
The West Indies broke a six-year drought when they narrowly defeated India 3-2 in their home T20I series last week and the Caribbean side received some outstanding performances from a number of their players during the five-game series.
