ICC Rankings - Tension for Suryakumar Yadav, threat to number one chair!
ICC Rankings: Team India's star player Suryakumar Yadav is currently the number one player in the ICC T20 rankings. But his bat of the last few times is not speaking in the manner for which he is known and recognised. First he got out for zero in three consecutive ODIs against Australia and after that his bat could not do much in IPL 2023. This year in the IPL, Suryakumar Yadav has played five matches for his team Mumbai Indians, but out of this, he has been able to cross the double figures only twice. Once he has scored 43 runs. Apart from this, his performance has been a flop. Meanwhile, it seems now that Suryakumar Yadav's number one position in the ICC T20 rankings is also under threat. This threat has not come from anywhere but from Pakistan.Suryakumar Yadav number one batsman in ICC T20 rankingsSuryakumar Yadav occupies the number one position in the ICC rankings with a rating of 906. At the same time, Pakistan's wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan is at number two in this list. Whose rating is 798. On the other hand, Pakistan's captain Babar Azam has also come at number three with a rating of 769. Suryakumar Yadav is in danger from these two players. Although there is a huge gap between number one and two, but still it can be bridged. It is not a big task for the kind of players Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are. The special thing is that Team India does not have to play any international match for the coming one month, that means even Suryakumar Yadav will not be able to play. Right now the IPL is going on and after that in June, Team India will play the final of the World Test Championship from Australia. But the thing here is about T20 rankings. There is a lot of time in that too, but the Pakistani team is playing T20 series from New Zealand. Both these players are playing in this series and will be seen playing in the rest of the matches as well.Babar Azam has scored a century and Mohammad Rizwan has scored a half-century in the T20 series against New Zealand.Talking about the three matches played so far, Mohammad Rizwan scored eight runs and Babar Azam scored nine runs in the first match. Even after this, the Pakistani team won the match by a huge margin of 88 runs. In the second match, Mohammad Rizwan scored 50 runs and captain Babar Azam played a brilliant century innings of 101 runs, this match was also won by 38 runs. In the third match, his bat did not work again and six runs came from Rizwan's bat and only one run came from Babar's bat. This was the reason that the Pakistani team lost this match by a minor margin of four runs. There are still two matches left in the series, which will be played on 20 and 24 April. If these two bat in this, then the considerable distance between number one and two will reduce further and after that the threat to Suryakumar Yadav's chair may increase even more. Meanwhile, along with the IPL, the series being played between Pakistan and New Zealand should also be monitored and especially the performance of Babar and Rizwan should be kept an eye on.
