The best performers in the New Zealand vs Pakistan and India vs Afghanistan series were rewarded in the ICC’s latest T20I rankings. Finn Allen, who smashed a record-breaking 62-ball 137 against Pakistan in addition to scores of 34 and 74 in the five-match series, was the biggest gainer of all with a nine-place rise to No.7 from 16. Allen’s resurgence meant a drop for South Africa’s Rilee Rossouw and England captain Jos Buttler by a place each and a three-place fall for Ruturaj Gaikwad, the Indian opener, who is now out of the top 10 at 12th place.
