Suryakumar Yadav
The swashbuckling Suryakumar Yadav on Wednesday became the world's No. 1 batter in T20 Internationals, rising to the top on the back of his incredible form in recent times.
Yadav overtook Pakistan opener Mohammad Rizwan on the back of his unbeaten 51 off 25 balls against the Netherlands in Sydney last week, to become just the second Indian player to hold the top T20I batter ranking after Virat Kohli, who spent 1,013 days at the top in different periods from September 2014 to December 2017.
