ICC Rankings: Team India again number 1 in T20, England still behind India after winning the World Cup

Team India's reign is intact in the latest ICC T20 rankings. India retained the first position with 268 rating points. Whereas even after winning the T20 World Cup 2022, England is in second place with 265 points. At the same time, Pakistan's team, which lost to England in the final of the World Cup, is in third place with 258 rating points. Please tell that India is just three points ahead of England. The Indian team can strengthen its position by winning the three-match T20 series starting against New Zealand.

While the ICC released the rankings of T20 teams on Thursday, it released the rankings of batsmen, bowlers and all-rounders on Wednesday, in which Suryakumar Yadav is at number one with 859 rating points. While Mohammad Rizwan is at number two with 836 rating points. Apart from Suryakumar Yadav, there is no other Indian batsman in the top 10. Now Virat Kohli has reached the 11th position. On the other hand, talking about the all-rounder ranking, Hardik Pandya has managed to make it to the top 10.

Alex Hales, who scored an unbeaten 47-ball 86 against India in the semi-final, has also made a big jump in the rankings. He has climbed up 22 places to reach number 12. Hales was England's second-highest run-scorer in the T20 World Cup. He scored 212 runs in the World Cup at an average of 42.40. Since his return from England earlier this year, Hales has been in excellent form.

Apart from Suryakumar, the other top five batsmen are Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Devon Conway and Aiden Markram. Rizwan and Markram both managed to hold on to their second and fifth places respectively, while Conway moved up to fourth in the rankings after losing his third place to Babar.
