Travis Head remains No. 1 batsman
In the new T20I batting rankings released by the ICC, Australia's Travis Head remains at the number one position. Head's rating is currently 844. If we talk about Suryakumar Yadav, his rating has become 821, which has decreased compared to last week. India has played two matches since the T20 World Cup 2024, but Surya has not been given a chance in this team as he is on rest.
Ranking is the same as last week
If we talk about the top 5 batsmen, England's Phil Salt remains at third place with a rating of 797. Pakistan captain Babar Azam is at number 4 with a rating of 755 and Mohammad Rizwan is at number 5 with a rating of 746. That means there has been a slight change in the ratings of the first 5 batsmen, but the ranking is still the same.
