India managed to retain their second spot with 122 points in the latest T20I rankings announced by the International Cricket Council (ICC) despite losing the two-match series against Australia. The clean sweep against India allowed Australia to topple South Africa and rise to the third spot, with 120 points. Pakistan continue to dominate the charts with 135 points. K L Rahul is the lone Indian batsman in the top 10. Apart from him, skipper Virat Kohli is on the 17th spot, while MS Dhoni rose to 56th in the list. Among the bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah and Krunal Pandya rose to 15th and 43rd spots, respectively.
Among the other batsmen, Australia's Glenn Maxwell rose to the third spot following twin splendid innings in the recently concluded T20Is against India. Afghanistan's Hazratullah Zazai is on the seventh spot after scoring 204 runs in the three-match T20I series against Ireland in India, thus being the lone Afghan batsman in the top 10.
Maxwell continued his brilliance, not just with the bat, but also with his bowling as he is the most dominant all-rounder in the T20Is, currently.

Notably, there is no Indian in the top 10 among all-rounders, while Ireland's Paul Stirling is ranked seventh.
