This 32-year-old right-handed batsman of Team India has now
got 869 points, which has become the best rating point of his career so far. At
the same time, Alex Hales' best rating was 866. Although the world record for
all-time high ranking is still with England's David Malan with 915 points. But
in the coming time, Surya can soon leave Malan behind. Surya, the only batsman
to complete 1000 runs in T20 Internationals this year, has also consolidated
his hold on the first place in the batsmen's rankings. The gap between him and
second-placed Mohammad Rizwan of Pakistan has increased to 39 points.
