Sri Lanka leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has topped the ICC Men’s T20I bowling charts for the first time in his career after two successive three-wicket hauls against South Africa and England.
He replaces South Africa’s Tabraiz Shamsi, who was at the top since 10 April this year.
The top four bowlers in the rankings are all wrist spinners, with England’s Adil Rashid overtaking Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan to take third place with a career-best 730 rating points.
A fast bowler who has made rapid rise is South Africa’s Anrich Nortje, who has gained 18 slots to reach seventh position.
Hasaranga has also climbed up in the T20 All-rounder rankings, moving up from 8th place to 4th place.
At the top of the all-rounders’ table, Mohammad Nabi has caught up with Shakib Al Hasan on 271 rating points. Hasaranga is fourth in this list.
Meanwhile Pakistan captain Babar Azam’s two successive half-centuries in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 have helped him overtake England’s Dawid Malan and grab the No. 1 position for batters.
Babar, who scored 51 against Afghanistan and 70 against Namibia to lead the 2009 champions into the semifinals, is at the top for the sixth time in his career.
The 27-year-old had first attained top position in 28 January 2018. He is presently also ranked No. 1 in ODIs.
