DUBAI: Pakistan skipper Babar Azam has witnessed a further plunge in his T20I rankings as he exits the top three list after New Zealand batter Devon Conway ascended to the second spot in the latest rankings released by the International Cricket Stadium (ICC) on Wednesday.
Opener Mohammad Rizwan retained the no 1 spot in the T20I batters’ list with 849 rating points although the Blackcaps opener has moved closer to the top billings with career-high 831 points.
Conway surged three spots from the fifth as he jumped past India’s Suryakumar Yadav, Pakistan captain and South Africa’s Aiden Markram.
The national team skipper now sits at the fourth position in the latest rankings with 799 rating points on the back of a dismal knock in the recently held nerve-wracking contest against arch-rivals India on Sunday at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Meanwhile, India’s Virat Kohli made giant strides in the latest T20I rankings with his glorious unbeaten knock of 82 off 53 which steered his side to victory on Sunday. His match-winning performance has placed him back into the top 10 as he secured the ninth position on the list.
