India's first-ever No. 1 T20I all-around player is Hardik Pandya

According to the most recent ICC rankings, Hardik Pandya is the first Indian player to hold the top spot among T20I all-rounders.

He moved up two slots to take the top spot with Sri Lankan skipper Wanindu Hasaranga after his all-around performances during India's victorious T20 World Cup campaign, in which they won the trophy without losing.

Hardik took 11 wickets and scored 144 runs at an average of 48 and a strike rate of 151 during the just finished 9th ICCMen's World Cup in the West Indies and the USA.

In the final match against South Africa, he made the most significant contribution when he removed Heinrich Klassen from the game, turning the tide in India's favor. 

In the penultimate over of the contest, he bowled to help India win the World Cup by seven runs by defending 16 runs.In his four overs, he concluded the match at 3 for 20.

When he scored 50 runs, not out of 27 balls, against Bangladesh, it was his finest batting effort.

In the meantime, Jasprit Bumrah, his teammate and the T20 World Cup Player of the Series, rose significantly in the bowlers' ranks. After taking 15 wickets at an average of 8.26 and an economy of just 4.17, Bumrah moved up 12 spots to No. 12.

 It was Bumrah's final-ball spell that helped turn the tide for India, with South Africa needing just additional thirty runs from the final five overs.
