Since December 2023, Suryakumar Yadav has held the prestigious position of the top-ranked men's T20I batter. His tenure, marked by brilliant performances and consistent runs, has now been eclipsed by Head's exceptional form. Head\u2019s knock against India, although in a losing cause, showcased his prowess as he kept Australia in contention despite Rohit Sharma\u2019s masterclass for India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Head\u2019s rise in the rankings saw him leapfrog four spots, pushing Suryakumar, Phil Salt, Babar Azam, and Mohammad Rizwan down one place each to round out the top five. West Indies\u2019 Johnson Charles made a significant leap into the top ten, moving up four spots, while Afghanistan\u2019s Rahmanullah Gurbaz climbed five places to 11th.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, the news wasn't as favourable for all Australians. Marcus Stoinis, who briefly held the top spot in the all-rounder rankings, has slipped to fourth. India\u2019s Hardik Pandya has moved up to third, with Mohammad Nabi of Afghanistan in second, and Sri Lanka\u2019s Wanindu Hasaranga reclaiming the No. 1 spot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
West Indies\u2019 Roston Chase emerged as a notable mover among all-rounders, jumping 17 places to 12th. In the bowling rankings, England\u2019s Adil Rashid retains the top spot, but Afghanistan's Rashid Khan has surged to second following his World Cup heroics. Australia\u2019s Josh Hazlewood also climbed three places, securing the fourth position behind Hasaranga.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/06\/icc-rankings-heads-meteoric-rise-continues-dethrones-sky-as-top-t20i-batter.JPG", "alt_img": "ICC Rankings: Head's meteoric rise continues, dethrones SKY as top T20I batter", "alt_title": "Saint Lucia : ICC Men's T20 World Cup cricket match between India and Australia ", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "ICC Rankings: Head's Meteoric Rise Continues, Dethrones SKY As Top T20I Batter On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "ICC Rankings: Head's Meteoric Rise Continues, Dethrones SKY As Top T20I Batter, ICC T20I: Australia's Travis Head has ascended to the No.1 spot in the latest ICC T20I batting rankings, dethroning India's.", "seo_keywords": "Travis Head, Suryakumar Yadav, ICC Rankings, ICC T20I, T20 World Cup, Since December, Rohit Sharma, Phil Salt, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, West Indies, Johnson Charles, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Marcus Stoinis, Hardik Pandya, Mohammad Nabi, Sri Lanka, Wanindu", "tag": "", "tagging": "Travis Head, Suryakumar Yadav, ICC Rankings, ICC T20I, T20 World Cup, Since December, Rohit Sharma, Phil Salt, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, West Indies, Johnson Charles, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Marcus Stoinis, Hardik Pandya, Mohammad Nabi, Sri Lanka", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "icc-rankings-heads-meteoric-rise-continues-dethrones-sky-as-top-t20i-batter", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1251", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-06-26 17:52:03", "updated": "2024-06-26 17:52:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Travis Head, Suryakumar Yadav, ICC Rankings, ICC T20I, T20 World Cup, Since December, Rohit Sharma, Phil Salt, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, West Indies, Johnson Charles, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Marcus Stoinis, Hardik Pandya, Mohammad Nabi, Sri Lanka, Wanindu", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-06-26 17:52:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/icc-rankings-heads-meteoric-rise-continues-dethrones-sky-as-top-t20i-batter-147269" }
