The
batting chart is headed by talented Pakistani batsman Babar Azam.
Talented
wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has moved up a notch to grab a
career-best second position in the latest ICC
T20 International rankings, where India maintained its second
position behind Pakistan despite dropping two ranking points.
Kuldeep
scalped two for 26 in the final T20I against New Zealand, which his
side lost by four runs to go 2-1 down in the series.
The
24-year-old accounted for well-set openers Tim Seifert and Colin
Munro in the only match he played during the series and reaped
immediate dividends. He is now second only to Afghanistan leg-spinner
Rashid Khan in the table.
There
are no other Indian bowler in the top-10. Kuldeep
Yadav's spin bowling partner Yuzvendra Chahal after an
indifferent series against New Zealand, dropped six places to be 17th
while Bhuvneshwar Kumar maintained his 18th rank.
In
the batsmen's list, Indian vice-captain Rohit Sharma swapped three
places with compatriot KL Rahul, who didn't feature in the
recently-concluded series.
The
batting chart is headed by talented Pakistani batsman Babar Azam.
Rohit
is seventh as per latest rankings while Rahul has slipped to 10th
place. Rohit's opening partner Shikhar Dhawan has gained a place to
be 11th while Virat Kohli's absence from the series affected his
ranking. The Indian skipper dropped four places to be jointly 19th
with Zimbabwe's Hamilton Masakadza.
Left-arm
spinner Krunal Pandya was another spinner to move up as he advanced
39 places to a career-best 58th.
For
New Zealand, Kane Williamson (up one place to 12th), Ross Taylor (up
seven places to 51st) and Tim Seifert (up 87 places to a career-best
83rd) among batsmen and Tim Southee (up seven places to 30th) among
bowlers are some notable gainers.
