India's star batter Suryakumar Yadav has regained the top spot in the latest ICC T20 rankings. Surya, who finished as the third-highest run-getter at the T20 World Cup 222 continues to stay No 1. He had attained the career-best points during the World Cup thanks to some blistering innings with the bat. His ratings were 869 which dropped to 859 after his flop show in T20 World Cup semi-final clash vs England at Adelaide Oval where he scored just 14 off 10 balls. But that does not mean that his ranking has dropped. He still remains the No 1 T20 batter in the world. 

Surya scored 239 runs in the World Cup. The runs came at an average and strike-rate of 59.75 and 189.68 respectively. Alex Hales, who smashed an unbeaten 86 from 47 deliveries in the semifinal against India, has also made a big jump in the rankings as he climbed 22 places up to No 12. The England opener as his side's second-highest run-scorer in the T20 World Cup, with 212 runs at an average of 42.40.
