The list is headed by the Indian all format captain in Rohit Sharma. It could have easily been Virat Kohli at the top of the list but due to lack of T20I games and also BCCI constantly resting Virat Kohli in T20Is in the recent past has gone against him. The kiwi opener Martin Guptill is in touching distance with respect to Rohit Sharma’s runs and there is a good chance for Rohit Sharma to widen the gap as India play a lot of T20Is leading upto the T20 world cup later this year.
