Adil Rashid, an England leg-spinner, took over at No. 1 in the ICC bowler rankings for T20I for a second occasion. Rashid's consistent performance in the ongoing series with India took him to the first position. In the third T20I in Rajkot, Rashid bowled an economy rate of 1.15 in four overs, and supported England in winning with a 26-run margin.
The ascent of Rashid to prominence has been marked with controlling run-rate and taking important wickets. In three T20Is played against India, Rashid took three wickets at an economy of 5.602 runs per over. In T20 Internationals, Rashid's overall record reads 129 wickets at an average of 24.13 runs.
Varun Chakravarthy's Rise
India's mysterious bowler Varun Chakravarthy rose big in the ICC T20I bowler rankings, by climbing 25 places and entering at rank five. Chakravarthy's performance in the third T20I match with England, in which he took 5 wickets by conceding 27, is worth noting in terms of his practice and devotion towards perfecting his bowing skill.
Chakravarthy's knack for getting wickets down at regular intervals of time and maintaining a run of wickets with his bowling has helped him gain a strong position in T20 cricket. Chakravarthy took 10 wickets in three matches in the ongoing series against Englad and is the leading wicket taker in this tournament.
Other Notable Movements
England's Jofra Archer, in contrast, rose 13 positions to rank six in the bowling ranking with five wickets in three T20Is played against India. India's Tilak Varma, in a prolific run, rose two positions to rank two in batting ranking in T20Is. Varma's 18, 72, and 19 in the series have put him in contention for the top spot.
