Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman’s meteoric rise continued as he moved into the top 20 of the ICC ODI batsmen ranking for the first time in his career.
Fakhar scored 515 runs in the recently concluded series in Zimbabwe and jumped 22 places to move into 16th position. After the first three ODIs against Zimbabwe, Fakhar was in the 24th spot and his innings of 210 not out in the fourth match and 85 in the final game helped him move up eight more spots.
Fakhar is now the second Pakistan batsman to feature in the top-20 after Babar Azam, who reclaimed the second spot after finishing the series with 184 runs. Azam (825 points) leads England’s Joe Root by seven points with India’s Virat Kohli on top of the pile (911).
Congratulations to Fakhar Zaman for becoming the first Pakistani to score a double century in One Day cricket.
