The writing was on the wall and it finally happened during the T20 World Cup 2022.
Suryakumar Yadav pipped Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan to become the new number 1 batter in the newly released ICC T20I rankings for batters.
India's Mr. 360, as he is fondly referred to, was rewarded for a consistent show with the bat over the last few months. Surya now has 863 points. Whereas, Pakistan's Rizwan saw a dip in form and is now at the 2nd spot with 842 points.
Interestingly, Virat Kohli who broke into the top 10 last week is at the 10th spot.
