Adil Rashid become No. 1 once again, Varun Chakravarthy moves to fifth among T20I bowlers


England legspinner Adil Rashid has reclaimed the top spot in the ICC rankings for T20I bowlers, after his consistent performances in the first three games against India helped the visitors keep the series alive. Rashid starred with frugal figures of 1 for 15 from overs in the third game in Rajkot to register a 26-run win for his side. Prior to that, he had finished with 1 for 14 and 1 for 27 at the start of the five-match series. Rashid had first asserted the No. 1 positioning toward the finish of 2023 for about a year until Akeal Hosein had dislodged him before Christmas in 2024. Varun Chakravarthy, who stowed a five-for in the third T20I on Tuesday, dashed 25 spots to come to No. 5 spot among the T20I bowlers though Jofra Bowman went one spot behind Varun by bouncing 13 spots in the wake of taking five wickets in the three T20Is in India. Arshdeep Singh held his 10th position, Ravi Bishnoi slipped from fifth to tenth spot while Axar Patel went up five spots to No. 11. Among T20I hitters, Tilak Varma surrounded Travis Head's best position by going up from third spot to second with scores of 18, 72* and 19* such a long ways in the series, in spite of the fact that Head actually leads by 23. In the event that Tilak figures out how to overwhelm Head with great scores in the leftover two games while Head plays a Test series in Sri Lanka, he will end up being the most youthful ever player to top the rankings. Abhishek Sharma went up upwards of 59 places yet is as yet positioned 40th. Noman, Warrican ascend in Test bowling rankings Pakistan left-arm spinner Noman Ali, who took a full go-around in the second Test against West Indies, hopped four spots to move to No. 5 among Test bowlers in spite of the fact that Pakistan lost the match to see the series being evened out 1-1. West Indies' Jomel Warrican rose 16 spots to be positioned 25th after his match take of nine wickets contrasted with Noman's 10. Jasprit Bumrah actually drives the Test bowlers' rankings while Joe Root is on top of the hitters' rundown.
