Rizwan’s Rule as the World’s Best T20I Batter Is Over

Mohammad Rizwan, the star wicket-keeper batsman for Pakistan, has fallen to second place in the most recent ICC T20I batter rankings following a spate of underwhelming performances in the ongoing 2022 T20 World Cup.
Suryakumar Yadav, a flashy middle-order batsman from India who has proven his talent in the mega-event by scoring two half-centuries in the three matches he has played so far, replaces Rizwan.

In the first round of the T20 World Cup, Suryakumar Yadav has scored 134 runs at an average of 67.00 and a strike rate of 178.66. In the competition’s three games, Rizwan has played, scoring 67 runs at an average of 22.33 and a strike rate of 100.00.

Babar Azam, the all-format captain of Pakistan, has held onto his fourth place despite having a terrible tournament, and Devon Conway, the New Zealand opener, is still firmly planted at third.

After smashing hundreds in the competition, middle-order bats Rilee Rossouw of South Africa and Glenn Phillips of New Zealand both entered the top 10 rankings.

Here are the latest rankings:
