SIKANDAR Raza stands at the summit of world cricket as the newly crowned number one T20I All-Rounder.
This massive achievement follows a masterclass in Zimbabwe’s opening T20 World Cup match in Colombo. As the Captain of the Mukuru-sponsored Zimbabwe national cricket team, Raza crushed Oman by taking an economical 1/17 and hitting the winning runs.
He has overtaken Pakistan’s Saim Ayub to reclaim his place as the most dangerous dual-threat player on the planet.
Brian Bennett is also surging through the global rankings after his heroics on the world stage. His unbeaten 48 against Oman pushed him to a career-high ranking of 19th among the world’s best batters.
Bennett proved his skill under pressure and highlighted the growing talent within the Chevrons led by Raza. His rise gives the squad a powerful new edge in the batting order.
Brad Evans joined the list of big movers by leaping 16 places to reach 15th in the world bowling rankings.
