Fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah achieves career-best second ranking as India’s rising stars make impressive gains in the latest T20I player rankings
Former ICC World Twenty20 champion India missed a chance to wrest back the top position on the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Team Rankings despite defeating Zimbabwe by 2-1 in the three-match series in Harare on Wednesday.
India had started the series fraction of a point behind New Zealand and needed to win the series 3-0 to perch itself at the top of the table.
Former ICC World Twenty20 champion India missed a chance to wrest back the top position on the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Team Rankings despite defeating Zimbabwe by 2-1 in the three-match series in Harare on Wednesday.
India had started the series fraction of a point behind New Zealand and needed to win the series 3-0 to perch itself at the top of the table.
However, after Zimbabwe pulled off a thrilling two-run victory in the opening match of the series on Saturday, India kissed good-bye to its chances of reclaiming the number-one position which it had surrendered to New Zealand following the annual update on 4 May.
The 2-1 series win means India has finished on 128 points – four behind number-one ranked New Zealand and six ahead of reigning ICC World Twenty20 champion West Indies.
In contrast, Zimbabwe has lifted from 58 points to 62 after gaining four points despite losing the series. This is because India had entered the series leading 12th ranked Zimbabwe by 66 points. And because the rankings are weighted to reflect this difference, India’s failure to comfortably win the matches have resulted in it dropping points and Zimbabwe earning points.
Meanwhile, in the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Player Rankings, a number of India’s rising stars have made impressive gains in the latest rankings.
In the MRF Tyres ICC Rankings for T20I Bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah has achieved a career-best rankings. The right-arm 22-year-old from Ahmedabad has vaulted six places to second position after claiming five wickets in the series.
This rise means Bumrah has become India’s highest ranked bowler in the shortest format of the game after Ravichandran Ashwin has slipped four places to seventh following his decision to miss the series.
Bumrah now has number-one ranked Samuel Badree firmly within his sights. The West Indies wrist spinner leads Bumrah by 46 points.
Bumrah’s team-mate Barinder Sran, who finished the series as the most successful bowler with six wickets, has broken into the rankings in 225th position.
