Swashbuckling Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav continued his stay at the the top of the latest ICC Men's T20I Batters Rankings released on Wednesday.
Suryakumar, who has endured a lean run of late, remained static on the ICC list with 906 rating points, and is over a 100 points ahead of the second placed Mohammad Rizwan (798) of Pakistan.
Surykaumar, who is the lone Indian batter in the top 10, enjoyed a stellar year in the format in 2022. He continued his good run in the series against New Zealand and Sri Lanka earlier this year.
Former skipper Virat Kohli is the next best Indian batter on the list as he remained static on 15.
Among bowlers, left arm pacer Arshdeep Singh is the top-ranked Indian on 14th, while veteran seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has dropped down a spot to 19.
Hardik Pandya is second in the all-rounders' list, behind leader Shakib Al Hasan.
Ten wickets in three T20Is has helped Haris Rauf catapult Shadab Khan to become the top-ranked Pakistan bowler.
