South Africa batter Dewald Brevis<\/a> shot up in the ICC men’s T20I batting rankings after a stellar effort against Australia on Tuesday (August 12).<\/p>\n Dewald Brevis leaps into top 25 after record breaking 125* <\/p>\n Brevis was in action against Australia on August 12, during the second T20I in Darwin. Coming in at 44-2 in the fifth over, he scored his maiden T20I half-century, before converting it into a triple-figure score. He eventually made an unbeaten 125 off 56 balls, including 12 fours and eight sixes. Brevis became the youngest South African to score a T20 century, and recorded the highest individual score by a South African in the format.<\/a><\/p>\n That knock has propelled him an astonishing 80 spots up in the ICC men’s T20I batting rankings, from 101st to 21st, just behind Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Tim David makes top ten of ICC T20I rankings for first time <\/p>\n Elsewhere, Australia star Tim David<\/a> went from strength to strength as he moved up six spots, breaking into the top ten of the rankings for the first time in his career. He has been in a rich vein of form of late, with scores of 50, 83, 30 and 102* in his last four T20I innings. <\/p>\n Among bowlers, a couple of left-arm quicks in South Africa’s Kwena Maphaka<\/a> and Australia’s Ben Dwarshuis<\/a> were the big gainers, moving up 61 and 60 spots respectively. The pair have taken seven and five wickets each in the ongoing series.<\/p>\n Read more: South Africa teenage pace sensation breaks T20I Full Member record with 4-20 v Australia<\/a><\/p>\n ICC T20I rankings: Top 10 batters on August 13, 2025 Rank Player Team Rating 1 Abhishek Sharma India 829 2 Tilak Varma India 804 3 Phil Salt England 791 4 Travis Head Australia 782 5 Jos Buttler England 772 6 Suryakumar Yadav India 739 7 Pathum Nissanka Sri Lanka 736 8 Tim Seifert New Zealand 725 9 Josh Inglis Australia 690 10 Tim David Australia 680 Top winners and losers: 21st – Dewald Brevis (+80) 81st – Ryan Rickelton (+45) joint 27th – Tristan Stubbs (+12) 40th – Glenn Maxwell (-7) ICC T20I rankings: Top 10 bowlers on August 13, 2025 Rank Player Team Rating 1 Jacob Duffy New Zealand 717 2 Adil Rashid England 710 3 Akeal Hosein West Indies 707 4 Varun Chakravarthy India 706 5 Adam Zampa Australia 686 6 Wanindu Hasaranga Sri Lanka 679 7 Ravi Bishnoi India 674 8 Rashid Khan Afghanistan 664 9 Arshdeep Singh India 653 10 Maheesh Theekshana Sri Lanka 652 Top winners and losers: joint 89th – Kwena Maphaka (+61) joint 62nd – Ben Dwarshuis (+60) 44th – Kagiso Rabada (+15) 50th – Lungi Ngidi (+14) ICC T20I rankings: Top 10 all-rounders on August 13, 2025 Rank Player Team Rating 1 Hardik Pandya India 252 2 Dipendra Singh Airee Nepal 209 3 Mohammad Nabi Afghanistan 207 4 Roston Chase West Indies 196 4 Liam Livingstone England 196 6 Wanindu Hasaranga Sri Lanka 192 7 Sikandar Raza Afghanistan 189 8 Marcus Stoinis Australia 183 8 Romario Shepherd West Indies 183 10 Gerhard Erasmus Namibia 164 Top winners and losers: joint 98th – George Linde (-5) 35th – Aaron Hardie (-4) joint 26th – Marco Jansen (-3) <\/p>\n Follow Wisden for all cricket updates, including live scores<\/a>, match stats, quizzes<\/a> and more.
