Shakib Al Hasan has been dominating the all-rounders’ ranking for a long time. In the last 4-5 years, if one randomly chooses a point in time and checks the rankings, then Shakib Al Hasan would be on the top of the list 9 times out of 10.

This time, however, he has dropped to number 3 in the T20I ranking. For the first time since February 2014, the all-rounder has fallen below the top 2 in the format. The main reason for this is his absence due to injuries.

Shakib Al Hasan missed out the T20I series against Sri Lanka in Bangladesh and also missed the first 3 games of the Nidahas trophy while recuperating from it. He made a comeback in the final 2 games of the tournament, but couldn’t exude his usual influence on the game.

Glenn Maxwell has currently taken up the number 1 spot with 389 points while Mohammad Nabi is second with 292 points. Shakib is just behind Nabi with 287 rating points.
