The International Cricket Council (ICC) recently updated the rankings for the T20 batsmen and there are some big movers both up and down. The biggest mover is definitely South Africa's Aiden Markram who has been in sensational form so far, he scored 40 off 36 against Australia and then 51 off 26 when he hit two fours and four sixes as he achieved his half-century at a strike rate of 196.15. India's Virat Kohli and KL Rahul have slipped up one spot and two spots respectively.

While newly ranked fifth Kohli did manage to score a half-century in his last match, Team India did end up losing. Rank eighth KL Rahul did not show his batting form as he has at the IPL 2021 but, there is still time for the opener to prove himself.

England's Dawid Malan stays top of the charts as Pakistani opener Babar Azam stays second but, closed the gap a little and Mohammad Rizwan jumped three spots after some decent performances. Australian opener Aaron Finch has gone down three spots after some poor displays and so has his fellow countryman Devon Conway. West Indies' Evin Lewis holds his spot at ninth but could drop if his team do not start performing soon. In tenth is Afghanistan's Hazrathulla Zazai who has been doing well for them and will be hoping to carry on those performances.
