ICC Rankings: Hardik Pandya's reign continues, Jacob Duffy makes a big jump

India's Hardik Pandya has retained his position as the No. 1 T2O all-rounder, Abhishek Sharma has retained his position as the No. 2 T2O batsman, and Varun Chakraborty has retained his position as the No. 2 T2O bowler in the ICC Men's T2O rankings.

New Zealand pace bowler Jacob Duffy has jumped significantly in the ICC Men's T20 bowling rankings, entering the top five for the first time after his brilliant performance against Pakistan in the five-match series.

Jacob Duffy has climbed seven places to 5th in the updated rankings after notching returns of 4/20 in Mount Maunganui and 1/37 in the recently completed game in Auckland. His performance helped New Zealand register the exciting 115-run win over Pakistan, which gave them a 3-1 series advantage.

Duffy is not the lone New Zealand bowler to have jumped up the rankings, with Zachary Foulkes, who helped him with figures of 3/25 in Mount Maunganui, improving by 26 places to 64th.

Meanwhile, Pakistan's Haris Rauf has also made significant progress, moving up 11 places to 15th after taking three wickets in each of the last two matches. Abbas Afridi has reached a career-best 36th position after his consistent performances in the series.

A number of batsmen have also made significant gains in the latest rankings update. New Zealand's Finn Allen, who smashed 50 off 20 balls in Mount Maunganui, has moved up two places to 16th. His teammate Mark Chapman has made an even bigger jump, moving from 51st to 41st after scoring a brilliant 94 in Auckland.

For Pakistan, young batsman Hassan Nawaz has made a big impact with his unbeaten 105 in Auckland, moving up to 77th. The ranking update also takes into account the recently concluded five-match T20 series between Namibia and Canada in Windhoek, where the hosts secured a 5-0 series clean sweep.

Namibia's Nicholas Devine has moved up 27 places to 68th, becoming his country's highest-ranked batsman, while captain Gerhard Erasmus has moved up four places to 98th in the bowling rankings. Canada's Nicholas Kirton has also progressed from 91st to 74th in the batsmen's list.
