Australian hard hitting opening batter Travis Head’s phenomenal knock of 76 runs in 43 deliveries in the super eight clash against India has helped him move up in the latest updated ICC Men’s T20 International player rankings as the Southpaw has successfully dethroned Indian Cricket Team’s Suryakumar Yadav at the top of the rankings to become the new world’s number T20I batter.

Head, who made a jump of four spots in the rankings, is now sitting at the top with 844 rating points next to his name, while SKY has dropped to the second position with 842 rating points.
England’s wicket-keeping batsman Phil Salt (816 rating points), Pakistan skipper Babar Azam (755 rating points), and wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan (746 rating points) have also dropped by one spot each to the third, fourth and fifth spots in the rankings respectively.
Travis Head Surpassed SKY
Men in Blue batter Suryakumar Yadav has been the world’s number one T20 international batter since December of last year, having also made the position his own in the past. However, his tenure is not going to last any more thanks to some outstanding batting displays in the ongoing Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 by in-form Aussie batter Teavis Head,” the International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a press release.
“He ( Travis Head) has been crowned as the new number-one ranked T20 International batter, having performed exceptionally well for Australia as an opener in recent years.
“Travis saved his best for the last in the ongoing Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, playing a really good knock of 76 runs which almost helped his side get over the line but in the end, Rohit Sharma and is men ended up winning the game”.
England leggie Adil Rashid continues to lead the Men’s T20i bowling rankings, while Afghanistan leg spinner and captain Rashid Khan has jumped to the second position in the rankings following his Super 8 heroics with the ball in the ongoing Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Australia’s fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has also risen by three positions to the fourth position, behind Sri Lankan captain Wanindu Hasaranga.
