Ishan Kishan<\/a>‘s 317-run 2026 T20 World Cup<\/a> campaign has helped the India<\/a> batter move to second place in the T20I rankings for batters. Abhishek Sharma<\/a> remains atop the batting charts after his 18-ball half-century in the final against New Zealand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kishan now trails Abhishek by just four rating points following his three fifties in the tournament. New Zealand<\/a>‘s Tim Seifert<\/a> (sixth) and England<\/a>‘s Jacob Bethell<\/a> (16th) also made career-high gains.<\/p>\n

Other movers up the rankings after the T20 World Cup were Finn Allen (20th), Player-of-the-Tournament, Sanju Samson (22nd) and Shivam Dube (27th).<\/p>\n

England’s Adil Rashid moved up to fourth after his 13-wicket outing at the World Cup, while Jasprit Bumrah’s tally of 14 wickets moved him up to sixth. Axar Patel climbed to 17th.<\/p>\n
