Jasprit Bumrah rises to no. 5 in ICC T20I rankings:Abhishek Sharma continues reign as no. 1 batter for 9th consecutive month

India’s legendary fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has returned to the top-5 of the T20I bowlers’ rankings. He has reached the top-5 without playing any match. This happened because South Africa and New Zealand played 2 T20 matches after the World Cup. However, South Africa’s Corbin Bosch did not get a chance in these matches. This caused him to lose ground in the rankings. He dropped to sixth place. ICC released the latest player rankings on Wednesday. In this, Jasprit reached fifth place with 702 rating points. Jasprit was the Player of the Match in the T20 World Cup final. There hasn’t been much change in the batters’ rankings. India’s Abhishek Sharma (875 rating points) is at the top. He has remained at the top for 8 months. The most changes in the rankings were seen in the ODI format, while fewer T20 matches were played during this period.
