In a thrilling turn of events, Indian spinner Ravi Bishnoi has ascended to the pinnacle of the ICC T20I bowlers’ rankings, displacing Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan following an exceptional performance in the recently concluded India vs. Australia T20I series. Bishnoi’s remarkable journey to the top spot reflects his outstanding skills and pivotal role in India’s resounding 4-1 series victory.
Bishnoi’s Soaring Ratings and Record-Equalling Feat
Formerly ranked fifth, Bishnoi now commands the World No.1 T20I bowler position with an impressive 699 rating points, showcasing a significant leap from his previous 665. His surge in rankings is not only a testament to his exceptional skills but also highlights his match-winning contributions against Australia. Additionally, Bishnoi’s record-equalling feat of nine wickets in the series matches the legendary Ravichandran Ashwin’s record for the most wickets by an Indian in a T20I series.
Ruturaj Gaikwad’s Consistent Presence in Top 10
In tandem with Bishnoi’s rise, Ruturaj Gaikwad has maintained his position in the top 10 of the ICC T20I batters’ chart. Gaikwad’s stellar performance in the series, emerging as the leading run-scorer with 223 runs, including a memorable century, solidifies his standing as the seventh-ranked T20I batter globally.
Suryakumar Yadav’s Batting Brilliance Leads India to Victory
While Bishnoi excelled in the bowling department, Suryakumar Yadav continues to shine as the top-ranked T20I batter. With an impressive 855 rating points, Yadav played a pivotal role in India’s convincing 4-1 series victory over Australia.
Bishnoi’s T20 World Cup Aspirations Take Center Stage
Bishnoi’s stellar showing against Australia not only secures him the No.1 ranking but also positions him as a key contender for India’s spin attack in the upcoming T20 World Cup in 2024. With 34 wickets in 21 T20Is and a well-deserved Player of the Series award, Bishnoi has undoubtedly made a compelling case for his inclusion in the squad.
