Cricket: ICC T20I Rankings 2025
India just made a loud statement in the T20 world. Abhishek Sharma climbed to the top of the ICC T20I batting rankings with 829 points, becoming the third Indian ever to hold the No. 1 spot. Right behind him is Tilak Varma at No. 2 with 804 points, and England’s Phil Salt rounds out the top three.
What’s striking is that three Indian batters are now inside the top six. Besides Sharma and Varma, Suryakumar Yadav sits at No. 6, showing that India’s power‑hitting depth is getting harder for other nations to match. For fans, this means more aggressive openings, bigger sixes, and plenty of match‑winning finishes.
From a broader view, the rankings tell us that the T20 format is becoming a true global battle. England’s Jos Buttler and Australia’s Travis Head are still in the mix, keeping the competition tight. If you’re following the next big series or the upcoming World Cup, keep an eye on these names – they’re the ones likely to shape the outcomes.
Tennis: Sabalenka Takes Miami
Switching courts, the women’s game saw a new champion in Miami. World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka captured her first Miami Open crown, beating Jessica Pegula 7‑5, 6‑2 in a rain‑delayed final. She didn’t drop a set all week, adding an eighth WTA 1000 title to her résumé.
Sabalenka’s win pushes her past the legendary Maria Sharapova on the all‑time WTA 1000 list, a milestone that highlights her growing legacy. The final scoreline also tells a story – Sabalenka was in control, breaking Pegula’s serve at crucial moments and never letting the match drift.
For Indian tennis fans, Sabalenka’s aggressive baseline game is a good reminder of the power style many young Indian players are adopting. It also raises the bar for upcoming tournaments, where fans can expect more high‑intensity rallies and quick finishes.
Beyond the headlines, both stories share a common thread: the rise of new talent reshaping traditional hierarchies. Whether it’s a 21‑year‑old cricketer taking over the world rankings or a 23‑year‑old tennis star adding a historic title, the sports world is getting fresher and more exciting.
