ICC T20I Rankings: Adil Rashid Reclaims Top Spot as Varun Chakravarthy and Jofra Archer Make Massive Gains
England’s leg-spinner Adil Rashid has once again ascended to the No.1 spot in the ICC T20I bowler rankings following his consistent and economical performances in the ongoing three-match T20I series. Rashid, known for his guile and control in the shortest format, overtook West Indies left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein to regain his throne.
Key Highlights:
Varun Chakravarthy’s Stunning Rise to No.5:
India’s mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy has been one of the biggest gainers in the latest rankings update. After an impressive series where he bagged 10 wickets, including a five-wicket haul in a losing cause in the third T20I, Chakravarthy soared 25 places to reach the No.5 spot.
His performances have bolstered India’s spin attack, and with the T20 World Cup approaching, his form could prove crucial for the team.
Jofra Archer Breaks Into Top 10 Despite Expensive Outing:
England pacer Jofra Archer has also made significant strides, climbing 13 places to reach the No.6 position in the ICC T20I bowler rankings. Despite conceding 60 runs in the third T20I, which marked his worst-ever figures in the format, Archer’s previous performances in the series helped him achieve this rapid rise.
Meanwhile, Axar Patel moved five spots up to 11th place, continuing his steady progress as a key left-arm spin option for India.
Arshdeep Singh Holds Position, Jasprit Bumrah Drops:
Despite not featuring in the third T20I, Arshdeep Singh remains in eighth place, maintaining his position among the top-ranked bowlers. However, Jasprit Bumrah, who has not played a single T20I since the 2024 T20 World Cup final, dropped four places to 40th.
ICC T20I Batter Rankings: Sanju Samson Drops, Abhishek Sharma Soars:
In the ICC T20I batter rankings, Indian opener Sanju Samson slipped 12 places to No.29 after a series of underwhelming performances. On the other hand, his opening partner Abhishek Sharma made a massive leap of 59 spots to reach No.40, showcasing his growing potential in the shortest format.
Final Thoughts:
The latest ICC T20I rankings update has brought notable shifts, with Adil Rashid reclaiming his top spot, Varun Chakravarthy and Jofra Archer making huge gains, and Abhishek Sharma emerging as a rising star. As the T20 World Cup draws closer, these rankings reflect the form and impact of key players on the global stage.
