Introducing the Unlikely No. 1 T20I Bowler: Not Rashid Khan, Ashwin, or Jadeja

Ravi Bishnoi has risen to the No. 1 spot in ICC T20I bowling rankings, surpassing Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan. Bishnoi’s stellar performance in the T20I series against Australia helped him achieve this remarkable feat, solidifying India’s dominance in both batting and bowling rankings. He claimed 9 wickets in 5 matches and is now in contention for a spot in the T20 World Cup 2024. Suryakumar Yadav retains his No. 1 spot in the batting rankings, while Ruturaj Gaikwad maintains his 7th position. Despite an ankle injury, Hardik Pandya remains in the 3rd spot in the ICC T20I All-rounders’ ranking after captaining India in 11 T20Is in 2023. Bishnoi’s rapid ascent and impressive performances have made him a rising star in T20I cricket.
