Babar Azam Becomes No.1 T20 Batsman in New ICC Rankings, Breaks Several Records.

In form Pakistan captain Babar Azam has overtaken England’s Dawid Malan to become the number 1 ranked T20 batter, following two successive half-centuries in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021.

Babar is presently also ranked No. 1 in ODIs. Babar’s tally of 834 rating points keeps him 36 points ahead of Dawid Malan.

Alongside this Babar Azam has now become the first-ever captain to notch up three half-centuries in a single T20 World Cup.

While Babar and Rizwan became the first pair to notch up five-century partnerships in T20 internationals. They have surpassed Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma – who have four partnerships together.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has topped the bowling charts for the first time in his career after two successive three-wicket hauls against South Africa and England. 

He replaces South Africa’s Tabraiz Shamsi, who was at the top since 10 April this year.

At the top of the all-rounders’ table, Mohammad Nabi has caught up with Shakib Al Hasan on 271 rating points. Hasaranga is fourth on this list.
