Varun Chakravarthy took a five-wicket haul in the third T20I against England.
Varun Chakravarthy has continued his dream comeback to the Indian T20I side. Following his excellent five-wicket haul in the third IND vs ENG T20I, Chakravarthy has broken into the top 10 of the ICC men’s T20I bowlers rankings for the first time in his career.
The ICC released the latest men’s T20I rankings on Wednesday. Veteran England leg-spinner Adil Rashid has re-claimed his No. 1 position in the T20I rankings following his terrific bowling performances against India.
In three T20Is so far in the series, Rashid has taken three wickets but has been highly effective in controlling the run-flow, managing an economy of only 5.60, the best among all the bowlers in this series.
Rashid first claimed the No.1 ranking for T20I bowlers at the end of 2023 but was replaced by West Indies’ Akeal Hosein last December. Rashid has now re-claimed the top spot by displaced Hosein.
Meanwhile, Chakravarthy bagged his second five-wicket haul in T20Is in the third T20I in Rajkot. He’s currently the leading wicket-taker of the IND vs ENG series with 10 strikes in three outings.
Chakravarthy jumped 25 spots to sit at the fifth position in the latest ICC men’s T20I bowlers rankings.
England speedster Jofra Archer moved up 13 spots to take the sixth position after his 2/33 in Rajkot.

Tilak Varma moves to 2nd position in T20I batting rankings
Meanwhile, India’s Tilak Varma is now challenging Travis Head for the No. 1 position in the ICC men’s T20I batting rankings following his blockbuster form.
After twin centuries in South Africa, Varma produced a match-winning 72* against England in Chennai. He has now replaced Phil Salt from the second position in the ICC men’s T20I batting rankings. Varma has 832 rating points and isn’t far from the top position holder, Travis Head, who has 855 rating points.
With Head currently involved in the test series in Sri Lanka, Varma can replace the Australian from the top position if he does very well in the remaining two games against England.
