The Indian-born Dubai resident hopes to build on her recent success in the European Championship in Scotland
Hardik Pandya rose two places to go level with Sri Lankan star Wanindu Hasaranga as the top-ranked men's T20I all-rounder on Wednesday, as per the ICC official website.
The all-rounder, who made a big contribution in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa, with the crucial wickets of Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller, had a good tournament with bat and ball and became the first Indian man to reach No.1 in the category.
Hardik Pandya made impactful cameos down the order with the bat and made breakthroughs with the ball when the team needed him to. He finished with 144 runs at a batting strike rate of over 150 and also took 11 wickets.

His most important performance, though, came in the final when his decisive blow — the wicket of Klaasen — with South Africa on top of the game, swung the contest. Hardik went on to bowl the tense final over and defended 16 runs to help India win the title.
