India skipper Virat Kohli and left-handed batsman Shikhar Dhawan have moved up in the latest ICC Men's T20I player rankings announced on Wednesday.
Kohli's unbeaten 72 in the second T20I of the three-match series against South Africa that ended in a 1-1 draw, saw him gaining one spot and reach 11th position in the batting list while Dhawan moved up three places to 13th after scores of 40 and 36.
The latest rankings update takes into account the India-South Africa series, Bangladesh tri-series also featuring Afghanistan and Zimbabwe, as well as the Ireland tri-series in which Scotland and the Netherlands were the other teams.
Fifth-ranked Hazratullah Zazai's current 727 points are the highest by an Afghanistan batsman in history while 21st-ranked George Munsey became the first Scotland batsman to reach 600 points after scoring an unbeaten 127 off just 56 balls against the Netherlands before dropping to 585 at the end of the series.
The series in India also saw South Africa's Quinton de Kock move up from 49th to 30th, his highest position in two years, after scores of 52 and 79 not out. Spinner Tabraiz Shamsi has reached the top 20 in the bowlers' list for the first time while Andile Phehlukwayo has achieved a career-best ranking of seventh.
In the Bangladesh tri-series. Zimbabwe captain Hamilton Masakdza retired from international cricket in 22nd place as their highest-ranked batsman at the time and Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb ur Rahman has moved into the top 10 with seven wickets in the series.
The Ireland series saw the Dutch pair of Ben Cooper and Max O'Dowd achieve their highest rankings at joint 41st among batsmen while Ireland's Kevin O'Brien has achieved a career-high 459 rating points in batting. Andrew Balbirnie has also progressed from 95th to 53rd in the same list. What do you think will be the next big news in T20 Internationals? Comment and let us know.
Virat Kohli's unbeaten 72 off just 52 balls helped India beat South Africa by seven wickets in the second Twenty20 International in Mohali on Wednesday. Chasing a target of 150, the opening pair of Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma gave India a flying start as they added 30 runs in the first three overs. Rohit fell cheaply inside powerplay for 12 runs. Dhawan, however, stitched over 50-run partnership with the Indian skipper and got India to a strong position. From there on South Africa kept chasing the game. Kohli, in the process also, went past Rohit to become the leading run-scorer in T20Is. The only negative for India to take from this, is the fact that their wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant still hasn’t learned to put a price on his wicket. India will now take field for the series decider in Bengaluru on Sunday. Though they can’t lose the series from here, they can definitely make it 2-0. Who do you think will win the last game?
If reports are to be believed, we could well see former Indian skipper MS Dhoni be excluded from the T20 squad for the series against South Africa. It’s safe to say that the captain of the Indian outfit that won the inaugural T20 World Cup, hasn’t exactly been in the form of his life. Having been criticised for slow knocks over the past one year, people have started to raise their concerns about his spot in the team. Fans are split between the type that wants him to play because of all that he has done for Indian cricket in the past, and the type that wants him to retire to make room for young talent. While Dhoni himself has made no comment on his plans post WC 2019, the whole of the cricketing fraternity has spoken. With the likes of Adam Gilchrist and other former cricketers having stood up for Dhoni, ex cricketers like Virender Sehwag have also said that the selectors should be respectful and bring Dhoni up to speed if he’s not in their plans for Indian cricket. With the team ready to be announced in the next 10 days, what do you think will be the end result? Comment and let us know!
