Liam Livingstone becomes the No.1 ranked T20I allrounder

England’s premium white ball allrounder Liam Livingstone is the new number one T20I men’s all-rounder in the world after his string performances in the home series against Australia.

Livingstone was brilliant for England in both the games. He earned the Player of the Match in the second T20I for his 87(47) and 2/16 in three overs. His innings led England to a series level long victory, after his 3/22 in three overs and 37(27) weren’t enough to secure a win in the first game. 

This splendid performance so far in the series helped him jump seven spots in the T20I all-rounder rankings, and also reach a career high rating of 253. Livingstone also jumped 17 spots to a career high 33rd in the batting rankings. His good form has also ensured his return in England's ODI side for the Australia series after Jos Buttler's injury forced withdrawal.

Marcus Stoinis, who’s at the second spot, trails him by 42 rating points, with Sikander Raza and Shakib Al Hasan being the third and fourth best T20I allrounders in the world. 

Meanwhile, 90 off just 37 deliveries so far in the series also allowed Travis Head to cement his top spot in the batting rankings. In the T20 men’s bowling rankings, Adil Rashid leads the list and is followed by five other spinners, which means that the top six places are occupied by spinners.
