ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024: Afghanistan star players ranked No. 1 in player rankings: One of Afghanistan’s star players has surged to the top of the ICC Men’s T20I Allrounder Rankings thanks to his team’s undefeated start to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

The Asian team is leading the 20-over competition in the USA and the West Indies after winning both of its opening matches. A number of its players are doing admirably at bat and with the ball.

The most notable riser in the most recent rankings update is the 39-year-old Mohammad Nabi, who rose to the top of the all-rounders’ list with his recent two-wicket performance against New Zealand in Guyana.

The T20I all-rounder rankings have seen a significant shake-up, with Nabi moving up two spots to the top, Australia’s Marcus Stoinis moving up three spots to take second position, and former No. 1 player Shakib Al Hasan falling four spots to fifth.

With 156 runs from two innings, opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz is the T20 World Cup’s top run scorer thus far. The in-form right-hander climbs eight spots to 12th on the updated list of T20I batters, setting a new career-high rating.
