Dubai, July 1: Dashing India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has displaced teammate Abhishek Sharma from the top spot in the latest ICC men’s T20I batting rankings released on Wednesday.
The rise to the top for Kishan (876 ranking points) comes on the back of his consistent form at the T20 World Cup at the start of the year, where the flamboyant southpaw compiled 317 runs at a strike rate of almost 200 that included a Player of the Match performance against Pakistan in Colombo.
Abhishek (869 ranking points) had held the top ranking for almost 12 months, with Kishan joining an exclusive group that includes Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav as one of four male players from India to have held the premier position for batters in T20I cricket.
