India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has moved to the 6th spot in the latest update of the ICC T20I players rankings in the batting department. This comes after his brilliant outing against Zimbabwe recently. India defeated Zimbabwe 4-1 in the T20I series in Harare.
Young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was the big winner following his 141 runs for the series as he rose four places to sixth overall behind No.1 ranked batter Travis Head and second-placed Suryakumar Yadav.
Apart from him, Shubman Gill, the captain for the series, rose in the batting charts as well as he top-scored in the series. He moved 36 places to 37th as a result on the back of his 170 runs from five innings.
Gill is now the fourth-highest player from India on the T20I rankings, with the 24-year-old moving past recently retired duo Rohit Sharma (42nd) and Virat Kohli (51st) to only trail Suryakumar (second), Jaiswal (sixth), and Ruturaj Gaikwad (eighth).
On the other hand, Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani gained 11 places to move to 44th overall on the list for T20I bowlers following his six wickets against India, while Washington Sundar (up 36 spots to 46th) and Mukesh Kumar (up 21 rungs to 73rd) progressed up the same group after their efforts in the same series.
Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza meanwhile moved to the 3rd spot in the T20I all-rounders rankings thanks to a good performance against India with both the bat and the ball.
Coming to the Test rankings update, England’s win over West Indies in the first Test at Lord’s meant that Harry Brook gained three places to move to seventh spot behind No.1 ranked Kiwi Kane Williamson, while top-order batters Zak Crawley (up three spots to 13th) and Ollie Pope (up three places to 29th) also gain some ground.
