(Cricket News) Shreyas Iyer has fallen to 12th place, while KL Rahul has moved up to 16th. In the bowlers’ chart, South African spinner Keshav Maharaj is still at the top followed by Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood.

India opener Shubman Gill’s reign at the top of the ODI batters’ list was short-lived as he was replaced by former Pakistani skipper Babar Azam. The Indian attained the top spot during the ODI World Cup last month, but since then he has not played any ODI.

The only other Indians in the top ten are fast bowler Mohammed Siraj (ranked third), spinner Ravindra Jadeja (ranked 22nd), and batsman Mohammad Shami (ranked 11th). Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh continues to top the all-rounders list, with Jadeja (12th) and Hardik Pandya (17th) the only other Indians in the top 20. Suryakumar Yadav of India continues to top the T20I batting chart.

Shakib leads the chart among T20 all-rounders, with Pandya (4th) being the highest-ranked Indian. Kane Williamson, the skipper of New Zealand, dominates the number one spot among Test batters, followed by Joe Root (2nd) and Steven Smith (3rd).

Adil Rashid, who became only the second English spinner after Graeme Swann to do so, has displaced Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan, thanks to his seven-wicket haul in four T20Is against the West Indies.

After a brilliant performance in the first Test match against Pakistan in Perth, Australia’s Usman Khawaja is now ranked fourth, with the highest-ranked Indian being Rohit (10th).
Veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin leads the Test bowlers’ chart, followed by Kagiso Rabada, Shakib, and Jadeja.

Several Australians have also climbed to new heights, with captain Pat Cummins coming in third, followed by Nathan Lyon (5th), Mitchell Starc (8th), and Josh Hazlewood (10th), all of whom were impressed by their performance against Pakistan. In the all-rounders’ chart, Jadeja is still at the top, with Ashwin in second place and Axar Patel in fifth.
