Eoin Morgan is up to ninth in the ICC's latest T20I batting rankings, moving ahead of India captain Virat Kohli.

The England skipper smashed a stunning 57 not out from 22 balls to lead his side to victory over South Africa at Centurion on Sunday and clinch a 2-1 series win.

Morgan was named man of the series after scoring a quickfire 52 in the opening game to go with his record-equalling 21-ball fifty in the decider and those runs have seen him go past Kohli in the standings.
