DUBAI: India opener Lokesh Rahul and skipper Virat Kohli have made significant strides in the latest ICC Men’s T20I Player Rankings released here on Thursday after producing two superb knocks each in the three-match home series against the West Indies which they won 2-1.
Rahul’s scores of 62 and 91 in the first and third T20Is have lifted him three places to sixth position while Kohli’s unbeaten knocks of 94 and 70 in those two matches have taken him back into the 10 as he has gained five positions from his pre-series 15th place. Rohit Sharma is the third Indian in the top 10, in ninth position.
Kohli, who was named player of the series after finishing with an aggregate of 183 runs, is now in the top 10 in all three formats, occupying top position in the Test and ODI rankings.
Other Indian players to gain in the latest rankings update include left-hander Rishabh Pant (up 15 places to 74th) among batsmen and Washington Sundar (up 19 places to 14th) and Deepak Chahar (up 22 places to 21st) among bowlers. (AGENCIES)
