Abhishek smashed 113 off just 38 balls in the third T20I on Tuesday, powering India to a six-wicket victory. The knock helped him overtake compatriot Ishan Kishan, who had claimed the top spot in July following his impressive performances in Ireland.
Abhishek now has 897 rating points, while Pakistan T20I captain Sahibzada Farhan occupies second place with 883 points. Kishan has slipped to third with 866 points after missing the second and third matches of the ongoing five-match series against New Zealand due to an injury.

Marco Jansen Becomes No. 1 Test Bowler And All-Rounder
South Africa's Marco Jansen emerged as one of the biggest gainers in the latest ICC rankings, claiming the top position in both the men's Test bowling and all-rounder charts.
Jansen's rise follows his outstanding all-round performance against Australia in the second Test of their ongoing series in Gqeberha. He scored 85 runs and took a match-turning five-wicket haul in Australia's first innings, helping South Africa secure an innings victory and level the series.
The left-arm pacer displaced Australia's Mitchell Starc to become the world's top-ranked Test bowler, while also ending India's Ravindra Jadeja's reign as the leading Test all-rounder.
Jansen also made progress in the Test batting rankings, climbing 13 places to reach 56th position.
Starc has dropped to second in the Test bowling rankings, while India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has slipped one place to fifth, with 853 rating points.
