The battle between Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma has seen an interesting turn in the ICC rankings. Ishan Kishan stayed at the top of the table with a good amount of margin, as he also managed to score runs. But unfortunately, he suffered with a niggle in the first game and missed out on the next two. 

With Kishan set to lose points for missing out the two games, Abhishek decided to take an opportunity for the same. He went on to smash a century for the Indian team in the third T20I against New Zealand, leading the visitors to not just a win, but also a series win. 

Abhishek Sharma is now standing at the top of the ICC Men's T20I batsman rankings with 897 points. Ishan Kishan has been dropped down to the third spot with 866 points. 

Here's how Twitter has reacted to the same:
