ICC T20I Rankings: Ravi Bishnoi new No. 1 bowler, replaces Afghanistan's Rashid Khan

Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi has become the new No. 1 bowler in ICC T20I rankings after his dream run in the recently-concluded T20I series against Australia. Bishnoi joins an elite list of Indian bowlers, including Jasprit Bumrah, who have reached the summit of the bowling rankings in Men's T20I.

Ravi Bishnoi joins Suryakumar Yadav as India hold the top spot in both batting and bowling rankings in Men's T20I cricket. Ravi Bishnoi replaced Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan from the top spot. The Lucknow Super Giants star was ranked No.5 last week and he has vaulted 5 spots to dethrone the Afghanistan spin sensation. Suryakumar Yadav continues to hold the No. 1 spot in batting rankings after having found success in his maiden assignment as the T20I captain. Under Suryakumar, a young Indian side defeated Australia 4-1 in the T20I series.

Ravi Bishnoi had 664 points when he was placed No. 5 last week, but the heroics against Australia saw him earn 34 more points. Bishnoi, with 699 points, has 7 more than Rashid Khan, who had held the top spot since March 2023.
