New Delhi: India’s middle order batter Suryakumar Yadav retained his No 1 position with career-high rating points in the latest ICC T2O rankings.

Suryakumar has a rating of 910 points after he stroked quickfire innings of 47 during the first match of India’s ongoing series against New Zealand in Ranchi as the exciting right-hander maintained his healthy lead at the top of the T20I rankings for batters.

While the Indian batter played a more composed knock of unbeaten 26 in the second match of the series, the 32-year-old dropped back to a total of 908 rating points as a result.

The current rating points mean Suryakumar remained within striking distance of England batter Dawid Malan in the race to hold the highest rating of all time for Men’s T20I batters.

Surya’s teammate Washington Sundar meanwhile galloped to 104th position. On the other hand, New Zealand’s Finn Allen (up eight places to 19th) and Daryl Mitchell (up nine places to 29th) have also gained in the latest rankings update.
