Pakistan’s young cricket star, Saim Ayub, has taken the top spot in the ICC Men’s T20I All-Rounder Rankings. The 23-year-old achieved this after his excellent performance in Pakistan’s recent T20 series against Australia, where Pakistan won all three matches.
During the series, Saim played a key role with both bat and ball. He scored a total of 119 runs and also took three important wickets. His performance was so impressive that he moved ahead of Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza to claim the number one position in the all-rounder rankings.
This achievement is a big moment for Saim, who is still early in his international career. Known for his calm and confident style on the field, he has shown that he can handle pressure and contribute to Pakistan’s victories in crucial games. His all-round skills make him a valuable player for the team, as he can impact matches with both batting and bowling.
Saim’s rise in the rankings comes just in time for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, which begins on February 7. Fans and cricket experts alike will be keeping a close eye on him, hoping he can continue his form and help Pakistan perform strongly in the tournament.
With young talents like Saim stepping up, Pakistan’s cricket team looks promising ahead of the World Cup. His recent performances not only highlight his personal growth but also give confidence to the team and supporters that Pakistan has players capable of making a difference on the biggest stage.
Saim Ayub’s top-ranking achievement is a clear reflection of his dedication, talent, and the hard work he has put in to become one of the best T20 all-rounders in the world.
