Dominant India Retains Top ICC T20I Ranking
After winning the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, India maintains the top spot in the ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings, led by Suryakumar Yadav. Despite a narrow lead, India stays ahead of England and Australia. The rankings consider the last three years with recent matches holding more weight.
Buoyed by their victory in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, the Indian cricket team solidified their dominance in the T20I format by retaining the number one position in the latest ICC rankings.
Driven by captain Suryakumar Yadav, the team holds 275 rating points, comfortably ahead of England at 262 and Australia at 258. Despite a slight reduction in their lead, India's supremacy is undisputed, underpinned by unprecedented consistency over the past two years.
This latest ranking reflects matches since May 2025 with full value; however, older results retain half their weight. The global standings maintain positions for New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and the West Indies, while Bangladesh overcomes Sri Lanka. Emerging teams like the U.S. see progress.
