Abhishek Sharma returned to the top ICC T20I batting ranking after his 113 against New Zealand. Marco Jansen became the leading Test bowler and all-rounder.
Abhishek Sharma reclaimed the number-one ICC T20I batting ranking after scoring 113 off 38 balls against New Zealand in Wellington on October 27. India won the third T20I by six wickets, reaching 199 for four in 13.2 overs.

Jansen's rise to the top of both the bowling and all-rounder lists shows how rare it is for one player to lead both charts at once.
