No.6: AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers has a shocking T20 ranking of 34

Overall Ranking: 41 Points: 2231

Despite being in the top 10 in both ODIs and Tests, the only reason why AB de Villiers finds himself outside the top five rankings is his terrible form, when it comes to T20Is. Although he has a more than decent T20 record, his T20I numbers are nothing to write home about.

That is exactly why the No.1 ranked ODI batsman (with more points than everyone else across the limited-over formats) and the No.6 ranked Test batsman has a lowly position of No.6 on these rankings and an overall ranking of 41.

His T20I ranking of 34 is below even the likes of Malcolm Waller and Stephan Myburgh and that is the one thing that AB would want to improve in the upcoming year as his points tally is more than the player at No.5.
