Zimbabwean cricket star Sikandar Raza just hit the top spot in ICC T20 all-rounder rankings for the first time. The guy has been absolutely crushing it with both bat and ball all year, carrying his team through tight situations and basically becoming the face of Zimbabwean cricket on the global stage.
His ranking proves Zimbabwe can produce world-class talent even though it doesn't get the same attention as the bigger cricket nations. The Chevrons have been looking way better lately with stronger batting depth and improved bowling discipline. Raza's success is pumping up the whole squad and giving younger players someone legit to look up to as they try to compete with higher-ranked teams.
