Abhishek, meanwhile, had recorded scores of 29 and 27 in the first two T20Is in New Zealand, but upped the ante in the third game, smashing 113 in 38 balls as India chased down 199 to make it 3-0 in the five-match series. With Kishan out after the first match with an injury, the coast was clear for Abhishek to get back to the top of the rankings. Kishan had moved past Abhishek to the top spot in July.
