Abhishek Sharma's top spot under threat as Sahibzada Farhan's twin tons shake ICC rankings In a major upset, Pakistan's Sahibzada Farhan has shot to the top of the ICC batting rankings, threatening Abhishek Sharma's long-held position. This remarkable surge is courtesy of his two centuries in the ongoing series against Sri Lanka. The 25-year-old batsman from Peshawar has been in scintillating form, scoring 246 and 101 not out in the second Test at Karachi. Farhan's twin tons have propelled him to the number one spot in the ICC rankings, leapfrogging Abhishek Sharma, who had held the top position for several months. The Indian batsman had been a dominant force in recent times, but Farhan's stunning display has given the Pakistani selectors food for thought ahead of the Asia Cup later this year. Farhan's impressive performance has also led to a significant change in the ICC rankings. Apart from his own rise to the top, other notable movers include Pakistan's Abdullah Shafiq, who jumped 14 places to enter the top 10 at number nine. In contrast, Indian batsmen like Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane have slipped down the order. The ICC rankings are updated weekly based on a player's performance over a two-year period. The latest rankings reflect the performances of players in the ongoing series, with Farhan's twin tons having a significant impact on the standings. As Pakistan continues its dominance in the Test arena, the team will be looking to build on this momentum ahead of their next assignment. Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma and his Indian teammates will be keen to regain their form and reclaim the top spot in the ICC rankings. The Asia Cup, scheduled for June, promises to be an exciting tournament with several top teams vying for supremacy.
