Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been knocked off the perch in the MRF Tyres ICCT20 all-rounder ranking by Australia's Shane Watson, according to the latest ranking published by the game's governing body yesterday.

Watson surged to the top, with 363 points, as Shakib (349) dropped to second and Shahid Afridi (330) of Pakistan dropped to third.

Shakib scored 54 runs at an average of 27 and took five wickets in the four matches against Zimbabwe in the home series last month while Watson scored 151 runs and took three wickets in the recent three-match series against India.

Shakib, however, holds the top spot in ODI all-rounder rankings while he is second behind Ravichandran Ashwin of India in the Test all-rounder ranking.

Bangladesh were in 11th position in the team's rankings, four points behind Scotland, following the 2-2 series draw against Zimbabwe

Meanwhile, India, who are also the number one in Tests, overtook the West Indies to reach the top spot in the shortest format. India have 120 rating points, two more than the Caribbean unit. Sri Lanka also have 118 rating points like the West Indies but they are third in the charts.

India have hit top form in the T20 format ahead of the World T20 to be held at home in March-April. They had famously won the inaugural World T20 in South Africa in 2007.

England (117 rating points) are fourth in the rankings ahead of New Zealand (116), South Africa (115), Pakistan (113) and Australia (110). Afghanistan (80) and Scotland (66) round up the top-10.
