India recently experienced a memorable T20I series win against South Africa, less than five months after India’s successful triumph in the ICC Men’s T20 World 2024.
Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson jumps hugely
The 22-year-old Tilak Varma has stunned everyone with his T20I batting ranking as he leads among the Indian T20I batting rankings. With the help of his back-to-back T20I centuries and finishing the four-match T20I series in South Africa as the leading run-scorer (280 runs), which guided him to win the Player of the Series award, Varma climbed the whooping 69 places in the T20I batting rankings.
While Australian star Travis Head and English star Phil Salt have held their respective first and second places in the latest T20I batting rankings, Varma is in the third position in the ICC T20I batting rankings. India’s new T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav has slipped one point to stay in the fourth position in the T20I batting rankings.
Sanju Samson, who recently scored three centuries in five T20I innings, including back-to-back hundreds and two centuries in South Africa, moved up 17 points to stay in 22nd place in the ICC T20I batting rankings. Samson scored 217 runs in the T20I series in South Africa and ended as the second most runs-scorer in that series.

Meanwhile, Ravi Bishnoi slipped to the eighth position, and Axar Patel jumped to 13th place in the T20I bowling rankings.
On the other hand, Indian spinner Varun Chakaravarthy, who finished the South Africa tour as the leading wicket-taker in the T20I series with 12 wickets, jumped 36 places to earn the 28th position in the T20I bowling rankings. Kuldeep Yadav is just behind Chakaravarthy (29th).
