India’s Abhishek Sharma is back at the top of the ICC Men’s T20I batting rankings after his stunning century against New Zealand. The left-handed opener has overtaken teammate Ishan Kishan following his match-winning performance in the third T20I in Wellington on Tuesday.

South Africa’s Marco Jansen was another big winner in the latest rankings update. The left-arm speedster has climbed to the No. 1 position among Test bowlers and Test all-rounders after an impressive performance against Australia in the second Test at Gqeberha.

Jansen’s rise has ended Ravindra Jadeja’s long reign at the top of the Test all-rounder rankings. He has also moved past Australia’s Mitchell Starc to become the highest-ranked Test bowler.

Kishan had moved ahead of Abhishek in July 2026 after a series of good performances in Ireland. Abhishek had first reached the top of the rankings in July 2025, overtaking Australia’s Travis Head.

Marco Jansen Becomes No. 1 Test Bowler And All-Rounder

Marco Jansen has reached the top of two Test rankings for the first time in his career. His performance against Australia in Gqeberha played a major role in his rise.

The South African all-rounder scored 85 runs and picked up five wickets in Australia’s first innings, helping his team secure a comprehensive victory in the second Test of the ICC World Test Championship contest.

Jansen moved up five places to take the No. 1 position in the Test bowling rankings, overtaking Mitchell Starc. He also climbed one place in the all-rounder standings to displace India’s Ravindra Jadeja.

Jadeja had held the top spot among Test all-rounders for more than four years before Jansen ended his run.

The 26-year-old also made progress in the Test batting rankings, gaining 13 places to move to 56th.

Temba Bavuma Moves To Second In Test Batting Rankings

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma has also made significant progress in the latest rankings update.

Bavuma climbed four places to move to second in the Test batting rankings after playing a key role in South Africa’s win over Australia. He scored a brilliant 179 in the first innings, earning the Player of the Match award as the Proteas levelled the three-match series 1-1.

England captain Harry Brook continues to hold the No. 1 position in the Test batting rankings, with Bavuma now his closest challenger.

Australia fast bowler Scott Boland has also moved up the standings, climbing three places to sixth among Test bowlers. South Africa spinner Simon Harmer gained 15 places to reach eighth in the Test all-rounder rankings.

Abhishek was not the only Indian player to benefit from the latest T20I rankings update.

Wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson climbed six places to 20th in the T20I batting rankings following his recent performances. New Zealand’s Finn Allen also moved up three places to 25th.

Among bowlers, New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner gained seven places to reach seventh, while India’s Arshdeep Singh climbed six spots to 15th.

These movements come as India continue their T20I series against New Zealand, with several players making their mark ahead of future international assignments.
