Hyderabad: Team India Vice-Captain Hardik Pandya scripted history as he became the first Indian all rounder to top the 'Men's T20I all-rounders rankings' released by International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday.
Prompted by key performances in the recently concluded T20 World Cup, where he scored 144 runs and picked 11 wickets including the crucial wickets of Klassen and Miller in the finals, Pandya had equalled Sri Lankan star Wanindu Hasaranga with 222 points.
Australian star Marcus Stoinis, Zimbabwe's Sikandar Raza, and Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan are at the next three spots. In the ODI and Test all-rounders rankings Indian senior Jadeja and Afghan veteran Nabi top the rankings respectively.
Additionally, World Champions India with 268 points is clearly ahead of the other teams and tops the Men's T20I team rankings list.
