Dipendra Singh Airey Rises to Third in ICC T20I All-Rounder Rankings

Dipendra Singh Airey of the Nepal national cricket team has climbed to third place in the ICC T20I all-rounder rankings. In the latest rankings released by the ICC on Wednesday, Dipendra moved up from fourth to third position with a rating of 256 points. Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza retains the top spot, while Indian player Hardik Pandya has dropped from third to fifth.

According to the updated rankings published on Wednesday, which include statistics up to Tuesday, Dipendra improved his standing despite Nepal’s men’s team not recently fielding T20I players. The ranking shift occurred as Hardik Pandya, who is positioned above Dipendra, also has not played any matches recently and saw his rating decline, allowing Dipendra to overtake him. Sikandar Raza leads the all-rounder rankings with 320 rating points, followed by Pakistan’s Sahibzada Ayub in second place. England’s Jonny Bairstow has climbed to fourth position, while Hardik Pandya slipped to fifth.
