Pakistan’s Saim Ayub has reinforced his status as a top T20I all-rounder by retaining the No.1 position in the global rankings, staying ahead of India’s Hardik Pandya. His consistent performances, particularly during the Asia Cup, have cemented his reputation as one of the leading T20 cricketers in the world.

In the tournament, Ayub took eight wickets in six innings at an economical rate of 6.40 runs per over. While his batting contributions were modest, scoring 37 runs, his effectiveness with the ball proved decisive in multiple matches. His all-round skills, combining reliable bowling with useful batting, make him a key figure in Pakistan’s T20 setup.

The all-rounder rankings also feature Afghanistan’s Mohammad Nabi in third place, followed by Nepal’s Dipendra Singh Airee and Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza, reflecting the increasing competitiveness of T20 cricket across Asia and beyond.

Elsewhere in T20I rankings, India’s Abhishek Sharma reached a career-high rating of 931 points, surpassing Dawid Malan’s previous record, while Varun Chakravarthy retained the top spot as the No.1 T20I bowler, showcasing consistent performance.

Ayub’s continued dominance highlights his dedication, skill, and importance to Pakistan’s T20 squad. Fans hope he maintains this top form as the team prepares for upcoming international series, demonstrating the strength and depth of Pakistan’s T20 cricket, blending experienced stars with emerging talent.
