Rising Indian star Abhishek Sharma has entered an elite club, becoming only the third Indian cricketer to surpass 900 ICC T20I rating points. With a career-high 907 points, Sharma now trails just Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli in India’s all-time T20I rankings.
Sharma’s rise to the top comes on the back of a fantastic performance in the 2025 Asia Cup. His standout innings was a 74-run knock off 39 balls against Pakistan, featuring five sixes and six boundaries, which played a key role in India’s six-wicket victory. This innings not only won the match but also strengthened Sharma’s place among the T20I elite.
Before Sharma, only Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav had crossed the 900-point mark in T20I batting ratings for India. This milestone highlights Sharma’s consistency, skill, and impact in the shortest format, and cements his reputation as one of India’s premier T20 batters.
The southpaw sits at the top of the rankings with 907 rating points. Meanwhile, apart from him, Tilak Varma has also gained one spot to claim the third rank with 791 ratings. Varma has scored 90 runs from three innings in the Asia Cup so far, including a match-winning innings of 30* (19) against Pakistan in Super 4.
India captain Suryakumar Yadav has also gained one spot to be on the sixth spot with 729 rating points. The India skipper scored an unbeaten 47* (37) with the help of five fours and one six against Pakistan in the group fixture.
