ICC T20 rankings Virat Kohli returns to top ten Rashid Khan advances to number one

Virat Kohli and Rashid Khan have started their T20 World Cup well. (Credits: Twitter) Indian batter and Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan are among the notable names who have moved in the updated ICC T20I rankings. Kohli's unbeaten and match-winning 82 against at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) helped him surge five spots to end up at number nine in the rankings. Kohli, who once held the top spot, rescued India from a precarious 31-4 to overhaul Pakistan's 159 in the allotted 20 overs. The right-handed batter struck six fours and four towering sixes during his 53-ball stay to script a memorable last-ball victory for India. With his knock, he is also the top run-getter in T20Is. The Men in Blue extended their superior record in World Cups over their arch-rivals and gained two valuable points. Special win. Thank you to all our fans for turning up in numbers. Special win.

The 24-year-old bowled an economical spell against the 2010 World T20 champions, bagging figures of 4-0-17-1 and dismissing Harry Brook. Although Australia's Josh Hazlewood has been amongst the wickets, he has been slightly expensive. Hence, his 699 points is second to Khan's 702. Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga dropped three spots to six. Meanwhile, England's Sam Curran has moved to eighth after a fifer against Afghanistan. There's a new No.1 in town ?
