Babar Azam is at the peak of his cricketing career. The Pakistani star has missed out on a fifty-plus score only four times in his last 18 innings. The 28-year-old has been exceptional, of late, and has reigned as number one in ODIs and T20Is for a long time now.
Indian legend Virat Kohli reigned as number one for a long time. And, now Babar Azam is creating his own path with his incredible consistency across formats. The batter remains at number one in Cricket's governing body's updated ODI rankings with 891 rating points. His teammate Imam-ul-Haq stands at number two with an 800 rating points.
New Zealand's Mitchell Santner and Devon Conway climbed up the ladder in the latest T20I rankings. This comes after their impeccable performances against West Indies. In the T20I rankings, Suryakumar Yadav from India is chasing Babar Azam's number one position with quite a narrow margin.
The Lahore-born has been undefeatable in recent times and has been proving it time and time again. He scored a flamboyant 74 against the Netherlands in a thrilling first ODI. Pakistan held their ground as they defended the total with a margin of 16 runs.
Devon Conway has reached the number seven position in Men's T20I rankings for batters with rating points of 683. His teammate Mitchell Santner stands eighth in the bowler's rankings with a 651 rating points in the T20I format. Josh Hazlewood has been considerably good in the ODIs of late and climbed up to the third spot in the ODI rankings. He remains the number one bowler in the T20Is.
Shaheen Shah Afridi missed the opener against the Netherlands and dropped two places from third to fifth in the ODI rankings. Mujeeb ur Rahman climbed up a position to stand at fourth with a 676 rating points. Mustafizur Rahman, who was the only stand-out player for Bangladesh in the series against Zimbabwe, saw a considerable rise. He has climbed up six places to end up at the 10th in the ODI rankings with 640 rating points.
