Batting Charts: India Takes the Lead
But who is the best T20 batter in the world right now? Abhishek Sharma has kept his lead at the very top. Is he alone at the peak? No. Consequently, Ishan Kishan moved up to second place. He is now just four points behind Abhishek. Moreover, Ishan scored 317 runs during the World Cup. Previously, the list looked very different. So, India’s young left-handers are now the most feared duo in cricket. Therefore, the future of India’s top order looks very bright.
| Batter Rank | Player Name | Nation | Change |
| 🥇 1st | Abhishek Sharma | India | No Change |
| 🥈 2nd | Ishan Kishan | India | Up 2 Spots |
| 🥉 6th | Tim Seifert | New Zealand | Up 4 Spots |
| 🏅 16th | Jacob Bethell | England | Up 17 Spots |
| 🏅 22nd | Sanju Samson | India | Up 18 Spots |
Bowling: Rashid Khan Returns to the Top
Still, the bowling charts saw a major change this week. The plan for India’s Varun Chakravarthy was to keep the top spot. But he has dropped to second place. And, Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan is now the No. 1 bowler again. Accordingly, Rashid reclaimed the crown even without playing this week.
But what about the other Indian bowlers? The reason for the excitement is Jasprit Bumrah. He moved up to 6th place after a great tournament. Why? Because he was a match-winner in almost every game. Essentially, his control helped India win their third title. Indeed, Axar Patel also made a big jump of six slots to reach 17th.
All-Rounders: Hardik Pandya Hits Highs
Then there is the race for the best all-rounder. The reason it is so tight is because of Hardik Pandya. He achieved a new career-high rating this week. Worth noting: He sits at No. 2, just behind Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza. Ultimately, India’s dominant World Cup run has turned their players into global leaders across all categories.
