Shreyas Iyer has climbed to fourth place in the latest ICC T20I batting rankings, while Aiden Markram has returned to the top ten of the Test batting charts and Australia's Josh Hazlewood has moved up to seventh in the Test bowling rankings.
India T20I captain Shreyas Iyer has risen three places to claim the fourth spot in the latest T20I batting rankings, strengthening India's dominance in the top ten. Three of the top four positions are now occupied by Indian batters, with Ishan Kishan leading the rankings and Abhishek Sharma sitting second.
Iyer's rise follows an impressive run of performances against the West Indies. He scored his maiden T20I century in the opening match in Lucknow before producing a quickfire 40 off just 18 balls in the second game in Ranchi.
India's Tilak Varma has also gained one place to move to ninth, giving the country five batters in the top ten. Meanwhile, West Indies captain Shai Hope has climbed two places to 11th after scoring a match-winning century in Ranchi. His teammate Sherfane Rutherford has also reached a career-best 24th position.
Markram Returns to Test Batting Top Ten
In the Test batting rankings, South Africa's Aiden Markram has returned to the top ten for the first time since October 2019. His determined second-innings half-century against Australia in Durban helped him rise four places from 14th.
Australia's Matt Renshaw has recorded one of the biggest gains in the rankings, surging 147 places from 196th to joint-49th. Renshaw delivered an outstanding performance against South Africa, scoring 190 and 82 to help Australia secure a commanding 214-run victory.
Hazlewood Climbs in Test Bowling Rankings
Australia fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has moved up two places to seventh in the Test bowling rankings following his exceptional performance in Durban. Hazlewood claimed career-best figures of six wickets for 49 runs in the second innings, playing a key role in Australia's victory.
Mitchell Starc continues to occupy the top spot in the Test bowling rankings. However, his advantage has narrowed to just four rating points over New Zealand's Matt Henry, despite Starc taking three wickets in the Test.
The latest rankings reflect significant movement across both formats, with Indian batters strengthening their position in T20I cricket and standout performances from Markram, Renshaw and Hazlewood reshaping the Test rankings.
