India captain Shreyas Iyer has climbed two places to seventh in the latest ICC men's T20I batting rankings, with 777 rating points, after his fifty in the final T20I against New Zealand at Hamilton helped India seal a 3-2 series win.
Abhishek Sharma stays at the top of the rankings with 889 points, ahead of Pakistan captain Sahibzada Farhan in second with 883, while Ishan Kishan stays third with 862 points after his 61 off 32 balls in the same Hamilton finale, where Iyer made 50 off 23 balls.
Sanju Samson moved the other way, slipping seven places to 27th after a quiet series with the bat, scoring 107 runs at 21.40, with 67 in the Christchurch opener followed by 40 runs across his other four innings without passing 20.
