Babar Azam, Aaron Finch dethrone Virat Kohli from the numeruno spot in T20I rankings

In recent developments, Pakistan’s Babar Azam dethroned King Kohli in the latest ICC T20I Rankings. Australian opener Aaron Finch secures the second position in the ranking to push Virat Kohli to the third position in the order.

The Pakistani number three batsman now has 786 points to show for, after his efforts in the New Zealand series. Finch, who had a magnificent Tri-Series at number five, bagged 784 points to secure the second place.

Unlike the ODI series, Virat Kohli is undergoing a disappointing T20I series with scores of 26 and 1 to his name. This dip led him to give away his number 1 position in the rankings with 776 points.

Despite Colin Munro’s firework in the Trans-Tasman Tri-Series, Colin Munro slipped to the fourth position with 773 points.
