ICC has released the latest rankings for all three formats. Not one, not two, but five Indian players hold the No. 1 position in this ranking. Be it Tests, ODIs, or T20s, Team India’s players are dominating all three formats. Rohit Sharma remains the No. 1 batsman in the ODI rankings. Jasprit Bumrah remains the No. 1 bowler in the Test rankings. Ravindra Jadeja is the No. 1 Test all-rounder.
Abhishek Sharma remains on number 1 spot
Abhishek Sharma is the No. 1 batsman in the T20 rankings, and Varun Chakravarthy is the No. 1 bowler. Team India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav has suffered a major setback. After a long time, he has dropped out of the top 10 in the T20 rankings. His performance has been extremely poor over the past two years.
Throughout this year, Surya has scored just 218 runs in 21 T20 matches at an average of 13. The Indian captain recently flopped badly in the T20 series against South Africa, scoring just 34 runs in four innings. This is why Suryakumar Yadav has been steadily slipping in the T20 rankings.
Bumrah and Varun have tough competitions
Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakravarthy are also in danger in the ICC rankings. Bumrah holds the top spot with 879 rating points, but Pat Cummins, who delivered a stellar performance in just one match of the Ashes series, has come close to him. This player has surpassed four bowlers to reach number two, with 849 rating points.Varun Chakravarthy remains the No. 1 ranked T20 bowler, but despite his impressive performance against South Africa, he has lost 14 rating points.
He has dropped from 818 to 804. However, there is a significant gap between Varun and No. 2 bowler Jacob Duffy, which will be difficult to bridge.
