Ravi Bishnoi’s remarkable show in the recently wrapped-up T20I series between India and Australia has propelled him to the pinnacle of the T20I bowling rankings.
Ravi Bishnoi has clinched the coveted top spot in the ICC T20I Bowling Rankings after an outstanding performance in the recently concluded 5-match series against Australia. His remarkable display further cements India’s dominance in all formats, as the national team already holds the top rank in ODI, Test, and T20I cricket.
In the recently concluded series against Australia, the 23-year-old Bishnoi emerged as India’s key bowler, securing nine wickets in five matches. With a total of 699 rating points, Bishnoi has jumped five places to surpass Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan (692) and claim the No. 1 position in the ICC T20I bowling rankings. Sharing the joint third position are Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga and England’s Adil Rashid with 679 points, while Sri Lanka’s Maheesh Theekshana (677) completes the top five.
In the T20I format, Bishnoi is the sole Indian bowler in the top 10, while Axar Patel has climbed nine spots to secure the 18th position. Suryakumar Yadav, the dynamic batter who led India to a 4-1 series victory against Australia, maintains his top spot among batters. However, opener Ruturaj Gaikwad has slipped to seventh place.

Furthermore, Indian players like Shubman Gill, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Suryakumar Yadav lead the rankings for ODI batters, Test bowlers, and T20I batters, respectively.
In the realm of all-rounders, India boasts the top-ranked Test all-rounder in Ravindra Jadeja. With Ravi Bishnoi’s rise to the No. 1 position in T20I bowling, Indian players now dominate in eight distinct categories across the ICC Rankings.
Shakib Al Hasan leads the list of all-rounders, with Mohammad Nabi of Afghanistan and India’s Hardik Pandya closely following behind. Despite missing the series against Australia due to injury, Hardik Pandya maintains the third spot in the all-rounders’ list.
