The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday announced its latest rankings of both ODI and T20I formats.
In the T20I rankings, Indian captain Virat Kohli gained one spot and is now the fourth-ranked batsman with 762 points. Kohli was in sensational form during the recently concluded five-match T20I series against England as he slammed 231 runs in 5 matches at an average of 115.50.
While KL Rahul dropped to the fifth spot after poor strings of performances in the four matches he played against England. Rahul scored 1,0,0, and 12 in the series.
Dawid Malan, who had a decent outing against India, remained at the top spot with 892 points. Australia limited-overs captain Aaron Finch is just behind him with 830 points, while Babar Azam stays intact at the third position with 801 points.
In the bowling department, Adil Rashid jumped to the fourth spot with 694 points, while Tabraiz Shamsi dethroned Rashid Khan to become the new ICC no.1 ranked bowler in the T20I format.

The ICC also released the latest ODI rankings where swashbuckling Indian opener Rohit Sharma slipped one place to third after an underwhelming show in the series opener against England. Pakistan skipper Babar gained a spot to jump to second with 837 points. However, there is only one point difference between Rohit and Babar.
