Abhishek Sharma is back at the top of the world T20I batting rankings after his match-winning century against New Zealand in Wellington.
The India opener now has 897 rating points, moving past teammate Ishan Kishan, who slips to third, with Pakistan captain Sahibzada Farhan second in the latest list.
Abhishek's rise came after his 113 off just 38 balls in the third T20I on Tuesday, when he reached his hundred in 35 balls as India chased down 199 in 13.2 overs to win by six wickets and seal the series 3-0.
Kishan had taken the top spot from Abhishek in July this year, while Sanju Samson climbed six places to 20th and New Zealand's Finn Allen moved up three places to 25th.
