Hardik Pandya attains top spot in latest update of ICC T20I rankings for all-rounders

Hardik Pandya is the joint No.1 ranked all-rounder along with Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga.

Hardik Pandya, the star India player, has become the new No.1 ranked all-rounder in T20Is as per the latest ICC T20I rankings on July 3, 2024.

Hardik Pandya had a terrific performance in the recent T20 World Cup 2024, scoring valuable runs and taking critical wickets at crucial moments. His participation also allowed India to field three spinners during the Super 8s and final stages of the event.

Hardik’s effort was highlighted by Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller’s wickets on the last day, which turned the tide in India’s favor after South Africa had been cruising in their chase of 177.

He scored 144 runs and had a strike rate of 151.57 in six innings over eight games, including a half-century. He collected 11 wickets in eight matches, with his best figures being 3/20 in the final and an economy of just below 8.

Hardik jumped two places to take the top spot in the all-rounders’ rankings, and he is currently level with Sri Lanka’s T20I captain Wanindu Hasaranga on 222 rating points. However, Pandya leads by a fraction. Marcus Stoinis of Australia is third, while Sikandar Raza and Shakib Al Hasan round out the top five all-rounders in the current update.
