India's mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy has made a sensational leap in the ICC Men's T20I Bowling Rankings
India's mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy has made a sensational leap in the ICC Men's T20I Bowling Rankings, climbing 25 places to secure the fifth spot following a standout performance against England in the ongoing five-match series. Chakravarthy's five-wicket haul in Rajkot during the third T20I was the highlight of the series so far, showcasing his ability to bamboozle batters with his variations and precision. Chakravarthy's performance was instrumental in India's efforts, though they narrowly lost the match by 26 runs.
His newfound position among the top five T20I bowlers underscores his rise as a significant force in white-ball cricket.
While Chakravarthy made waves, England's seasoned spinner Adil Rashid quietly re-ascended to the top of the ICC T20I Bowling Rankings. Rashid's consistent performances in the series, including an economical spell of 1/15 in Rajkot, helped England stay alive in the series, now trailing 2-1.
Rashid's resurgence at 36 years of age is a testament to his longevity and skill. Having first claimed the No.1 ranking at the end of 2023, Rashid had briefly lost the spot to Akeal Hosein but has now reclaimed it, proving his continued relevance in the shortest format.
