Hardik Pandya Back as No. 1 Allrounder in T20Is Latest ICC Rankings, Tilak Varma Enters Top 10
Tilak jumped a whopping 69 places after his back-to-back centuries in South Africa.
India's Hardik Pandya is back as the No. 1 allrounder in the world as per the latest ICC T20I rankings. Not just that, Tilak Varma after a dream series where he smashed back-to-back centuries, has broken into the Top 10 ranking.
Pandya overtook England dasher Liam Livingstone and Nepal dynamo Dipendra Singh Airee at the top of the T20I all-rounder charts on the back of some strong form during India's recent series in South Africa, with the 31-year-old producing some eye-catching efforts with both bat and ball.
His innings of 39* in the second match of the four-match series helped balance India's innings, while his spell of 1/8 from three overs during the decisive fourth contest ensured the Asian side claimed an impressive 3-1 series triumph.
It is the second time Pandya has held the No.1 ranking for T20 all-rounders, with the consistent India performer first rising to the top at the end of this year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
Pandya wasn't the only India player to make giant strides on the latest rankings update, with Player of the Series and rising impressive young batter Varma shooting up the batting charts a whopping 69 places following his two centuries and 280 runs for the series against the South African Team.

The rise sees Varma improve to third place overall behind No.1 ranked T20I batter Travis Head and means he is now the highest-rated batter from India, with skipper Suryakumar Yadav dropping one spot to fourth behind him.
Teammate Sanju Samson - who also managed two centuries during the series with South Africa - climbs 17 spots to 22nd on the same list for T20I batters, while the South Africa team will be thrilled with the ongoing improvement made by Tristan Stubbs (23rd) and Heinrich Klaasen (up six places to equal 59th).
