Shreyas Iyer climbs to career-best T20I rankings, makes it three Indians in top four

India’s T20I captain Shreyas Iyer has attained his career-best rankings in the shortest format in the latest update released by the ICC. Iyer recently slammed his maiden century in the format during the first T20I against West Indies in Lucknow.

The India skipper slammed a 43-ball century, scoring 102* (43), laced with ten fours and six sixes, helping India chase down 172 in 14.4 overs. He followed it up with a 40 (18) in the second T20I in Ranchi. Following his stellar run, he has risen three spots to occupy fourth position in the T20I batters’ rankings with 798 ratings.

Following Iyer’s rise, India now have three players in the top four, with Ishan Kishan sitting on top with 904 ratings, followed by Abhishek Sharma in second with 891 ratings. Tilak Varma has also risen one spot to be in the seventh position with 731 ratings to his name. 

Josh Hazlewood rises in Test bowlers' rankings

The southpaw has also been in rich form in recent times, having scored 51* (22) against Pakistan in the Asian Games 2026 gold medal match, followed by a blistering innings of 44* (18) in the second T20I against West Indies in Ranchi.

Meanwhile, in the Test bowlers’ rankings, Australia seamer Josh Hazlewood rose two spots to occupy seventh position, following his match-winning performance in the first Test against Australia. Hazlewood registered his career-best figures of 6/49 in the second innings, helping South Africa script a massive 214-run victory in Durban.
