T20 World Cup 2026 has not gone well for Team India's star opener Abhishek Sharma so far and no big innings have come from his bat. Leave alone a big innings, Abhishek yearned to score runs in this World Cup and was out for 0 in 3 consecutive matches. But even before the World Cup, Abhishek's performance was so strong that there was no impact on his ICC rankings.
Abhishek is still the number-1 batsman in the latest T20 rankings, while Ishan Kishan and Jasprit Bumrah have been rewarded for their excellent performances.ICC released the latest rankings on Wednesday 25 February, on which the impact of T20 World Cup matches was also visible. If we talk about batting, Abhishek's number-1 position remains intact. However, his rating points have declined significantly and have come down to 877. However, he is still far ahead of second place Phil Salt (815).
Pakistan's opener Sahibzada Farhan has reached the third position, who has gained 2 places.Ishan Kishan, who created a stir with his explosive batting in the World Cup and was the highest run scorer for Team India, has jumped 3 places and has reached 5th position. Ishaan left captain Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma behind in this matter. Surya remains at his sixth position but Tilak Verma has lost 2 places here and has come to the seventh position. Apart from these, South Africa's Dewald Brevis has achieved 9th rank in batting with a jump of 10 places.
Talking about bowling, despite the bad match against South Africa, Varun Chakraborty is still at number-1.
After Varun, now another Indian bowler has entered the top-10. This is star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who has climbed 7 places to reach 8th rank. Bumrah also got a big benefit from his 4 wicket spell against South Africa. At the same time, South Africa's Corbin Bosch (up 21 places to rank 3) and West Indies' Matthew Ford (up 23 places to rank 7) have also made it to the top-10 with big jumps.
