India captain Virat Kohli dropped four places to eighth after his team’s early group-stage elimination from the ongoing T20 World Cup, while team-mate KL Rahul jumped three slots to fifth in the ICC men’s T20I Player Rankings issued on Wednesday.

With three fifties in India’s last three matches, KL Rahul moved to No.5. After returning low scores against Pakistan and New Zealand, Rahul was brilliant against Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia but the knocks came in too late for India as they exited the tournament in the Super 12 stage.

On the other hand, South Africa batter Aiden Markram has made significant gains in the latest ICC Men’s T20I rankings. Markram’s unbeaten knock of 52 in just 25 balls in South Africa’s victory over Group 1 table-toppers England saw him climb to the No. 3 spot.

South African teammate Rassie van der Dussen too broke into the top 10 rankings for batters, climbing six spots to occupy the 10th spot in the latest update. Van der Dussen scored a Player of the Match-winning knock of 94* against England, helping the Proteas post a daunting total of 189.

In the rankings for bowlers, the Australian duo of Adam Zampa and Josh Hazlewood climbed the charts. Both bowlers have been in great form of late and were instrumental in Australia qualifying for the semi-finals of the World Cup.
