India, Jan. 28 -- India captain Suryakumar Yadav has worked his way back into the top 10 of the ICC T20I batting rankings, climbing five places to sit seventh after a pair of impressive half-centuries in the ongoing series against New Zealand. The timing of his return to form could not have been better, coming just weeks before the T20 World Cup and easing concerns among home supporters. Suryakumar's scores of 32, 82 not out and 57 not out have helped him regain fluency and confidence at the crease. India continue to dominate the upper end of the rankings, with Abhishek Sharma holding the top spot and Tilak Varma placed third, underlining the side's strong batting depth as the World Cup draws closer.
