Shreyas Iyer Climbs to Career-Best No. 7 in ICC T20I Rankings After Maiden Century

India batter Shreyas Iyer has made a huge jump in the latest ICC men's T20I rankings after his stunning maiden century in the format helped India defeat the West Indies in the series opener in Lucknow.

Iyer surged 18 places to No. 7, the highest ranking of his T20I career. He smashed an unbeaten 102 off just 43 balls, producing a match-winning innings that propelled India to victory.

Iyer is now the third-highest-ranked Indian batter in the T20I rankings. Ishan Kishan continues to occupy the top spot after scoring an unbeaten 37 off 27 balls, while Abhishek Sharma remains at No. 2 following his quickfire 21 off 10 deliveries.

Pakistan's Sahibzada Farhan, England's Harry Brook and Jos Buttler, and South Africa's Dewald Brevis are positioned between the top two and Iyer.

West Indies batter Sherfane Rutherford was another notable mover. After scoring a 34-ball 56, Rutherford climbed 10 places from No. 47 to No. 37.

Rashid Khan Regains No. 1 Spot

There was also a change at the top of the T20I bowling rankings, with Afghanistan's Rashid Khan reclaiming the No. 1 position from Pakistan's Abrar Ahmed.

Abrar, who finished with figures of 0 for 29 in the Asian Games semi-final and 1 for 29 in the final, slipped to second place.

For Rashid, it marks the eighth occasion on which he has reached the summit of the T20I bowling rankings. The Afghanistan spinner has also spent more time at No. 1 than any other bowler in the history of the rankings.

India all-rounder Axar Patel made a significant jump as well. After taking four wickets in two matches at the Asian Games and returning figures of 2 for 26 against West Indies, Axar climbed 16 places to reach No. 7.

Bangladesh spinners Nasum Ahmed and Mahedi Hasan also moved up the rankings, with Nasum rising three places to No. 8 and Mahedi making a 10-place jump to No. 9.

Shubman Gill Extends Lead in ODI Rankings

In the ODI rankings, India's Shubman Gill strengthened his position at the top of the batters' table following his unbeaten 223 in the second ODI against West Indies.

The double century, Gill's second in ODI cricket, helped him extend his lead over New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell to 47 rating points.

Mitchell moved up to No. 2 after Virat Kohli slipped to third. Kohli had scored a century in the opening ODI but followed it with scores of 29 and a duck in the subsequent matches against West Indies.

West Indies captain Shai Hope also made significant progress after his match-winning unbeaten 162 in the third ODI. The innings lifted him two places to No. 6.

India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul, who scored a century in the same match, climbed seven places to break into the top 10 at No. 10, despite his innings coming in a losing cause.

Among ODI bowlers, West Indies pacer Jayden Seales entered the top 10 after taking three wickets in the third ODI against India. He jumped 12 places to reach No. 10.

The latest ICC rankings reflect a strong showing from Indian batters, with Iyer's breakthrough T20I century and Gill's commanding ODI performances driving major movement at the top of both charts.
