Dubai – Rapidly-rising Indian batting star Abhishek Sharma widened the gap between him and the rest by achieving the highest-ever rating points, while Varun Chakravarthy continued to top the bowling charts in the latest ICC T20 International Rankings issued on Wednesday.

However, Pakistan's Saim Ayub has ended Hardik Pandya's run at the top of the T20I all-rounder rankings.

Abhishek broke a record that has lasted for almost five years by reaching the highest-ever rating 931 points in the ICC Rankings following India's title-winning run at the just-concluded Asia Cup here.

The 25-year-old overtook the previous best rating of 919 points, which was achieved by England right-hander Dawid Malan in 2020, the ICC said in a statement.

The left-hander, who was adjudged player of the tournament in Asia Cup for his blazing form that helped him score at a strike rate of over 200, also surpassed the previous best ratings of teammates Suryakumar Yadav (912) and Virat Kohli (909).
