Iyer rises to career-best seventh in T20I rankings; Gill consolidates No.1 position in ODI list

India’s Shreyas Iyer surged to his career-best seventh position in the ICC T20I batting rankings after a dominant unbeaten century in the series opener against the West Indies. His 102 from 43 deliveries—packed with 10 fours and six sixes—helped India secure an eight-wicket victory in Lucknow, marking a 18-place jump for the captain.

Meanwhile, Shubman Gill reaffirmed his dominance in ODIs with a second double-century, this time an unbeaten 223 in Guwahati, reinforcing his No. 1 ranking with 841 rating points.

Virat Kohli slipped to third, while KL Rahul returned to the top 10 after a century in the series’ final ODI. In the T20 rankings, India now boasts four batters in the top 10, with Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma leading the way.

Bowling-wise, Rashid Khan retained the No. 1 spot, while Axar Patel climbed 16 places to seventh after a strong week.

Off the field, Hasan Nawaz and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi also saw significant ranking gains.
