Williamson, who was already placed fifth in the One-Day International (ODI) rankings, besides occupying the fourth spot in the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/\"> ICC Test rankings<\/a>, jumped two places to move to the fourth spot in the ICC T20 rankings for batsmen, according to an ICC release.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/india-maintains-no-1-position-in-latest-icc-test-rankings--22724\">India maintains No.1 Position in latest ICC Test Rankings<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/\">Kohli <\/a>is the only other batsman in the world who presently features in the top five of all three formats. He is the number-one ranked batsman in T20Is, second-ranked in ODIs and Tests. Interestingly, both <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/\">Kohli<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/\">Williamson<\/a> captained their respective sides in the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2008 in Malaysia. India won the tournament when it defeated South Africa by 12 runs (DLS method).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after: always\"><span style=\"display: none;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Apart from<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/\"> Williamson, <\/a>all-rounder<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/\"> Colin Munro<\/a> has also made an impact on the latest T20I rankings. The left-hander smashed a 54-ball 101 in the second match against Bangladesh, which has helped him jump 20 places to 19th. In the T20I bowling table, the biggest mover is Bangladesh&#39;s Mustafizur Rahman, who won the ICC Emerging Cricketer of the Year award.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-special\/sydney-barnes-holds-the-record-of-most-wickets-in-a-test-series--22536\">Sydney Barnes, The bowler with most wickets in a test series<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The left-armer has leaped 10 places to 10th in the latest rankings. In doing so, he has also become Bangladesh&#39;s highest-ranked bowler, leapfrogging left-arm spinner <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-special\/sydney-barnes-holds-the-record-of-most-wickets-in-a-test-series--22536\">Shakib Al Hasan<\/a> who is 11th after rising three places in the list led by South Africa&#39;s Imran Tahir and followed by India&#39;s Jasprit Bumrah at second position.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after: always\"><span style=\"display: none;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Reacting to the news, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-special\/sydney-barnes-holds-the-record-of-most-wickets-in-a-test-series--22536\">Mustafizur<\/a> said: &quot;Rankings are an important indicator of consistency in performance and I am very happy and inspired to see myself in the top ten for the first time.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-special\/south-africa-s-best-fast-bowling-partners-allan-donald-shaun-pollock--20765\">South Africa&#39;s best fast bowling pair - Donald &amp; Pollock<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile, New Zealand has retained its status as the number-one ranked T20I side. For its 3-0 success against Bangladesh, it has earned one point which has lifted it to 129 points. The Kiwis are followed by India and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-special\/south-africa-s-best-fast-bowling-partners-allan-donald-shaun-pollock--20765\">South Africa<\/a> at second and third spots respectively.<\/p>\r\n",
