NEW DELHI: The Indian trio of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy, and aggressive opener Abhishek Sharma have maintained their top spots in the latest ICC T20 rankings, released on Wednesday.
Chakravarthy, who claimed the top-ranked bowler position last week, has strengthened his hold with a 14-point boost, taking his rating to 747 points.
Following an 11-place rise last week, Pakistan’s Abrar Ahmed has made another huge leap, climbing 12 spots in the ICC T20 rankings.
After a brief dip that saw him lose four positions last week, Bangladesh's experienced T20I pacer Mustafizur Rahman is back in the top 10 thanks to a six-place jump. The left-arm seamer has taken six wickets at an impressive average of eight in his last two matches of the tournament.
