Cricket / Latest rankings for T20I batsmen out, 2 Indians in top 10

Cricket Desk: India’s KL Rahul has dropped a spot to be at 3rd in the latest ICC T20I Rankings. His captain Virat Kohli is the other batsman alongside him to be at the top ten spot. He is at sixth.

New Zealand’s Kane Williamson and Aussie captain Aaron Finch have gained big after a superb show. While Guptill leapfrogged three spots to be in top ten (he is at number 8), Finch, who came under heavy fire for his dry run in the initial games, came back strongly in the business end of the five-match T20I series. He stands firm at second, that’s a gain of two places.

Meanwhile England’s David Malan continues to be at the numero uno spot. He will turn up for Kings XI Punjab in this year’s IPL. Australia’s Ashton Agar has moved up the ladder in the latest ICC bowler’s rankings to break in top five, while Sri Lanka’s Lakshan Sandakan and Ish Sodhi have also broke into top-ten positions.
