Jasprit Bumrah and Tilak Verma: Many major changes have been seen in the latest men’s player rankings released by the ICC on Wednesday. Young batsman Tilak Verma has made a huge leap in the T20 International batting rankings by maintaining his excellent form. At the same time, the reign of Jasprit Bumrah, who has been number one in Test cricket for a long time, now seems to be facing a tough challenge.
Tilak Verma reached top-3 in T20I
Tilak Verma has made it to the top-3 in the T20I batting rankings on the basis of his strong performance in the recent matches. In the decisive match played in Ahmedabad, he played a brilliant inning of 73 runs in 42 balls. Thanks to this innings, Tilak secured the third position with 805 rating points, leaving behind Pathum Nissanka of Sri Lanka. Tilak’s consistency has made him one of the most reliable young batsmen of current times.
Dewald Brevis also got benefit
Apart from Tilak Verma, South Africa’s young batsman Dewald Brevis has also gained in T20 rankings. Due to his quick inning of 31 runs, he was successful in making a place in the list of top-10 batsmen for the first time. This shows that young players are continuously making their strong presence felt in limited overs cricket.
Tough challenge for Bumrah in test ranking
Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah still remains at the top position in the Test bowling rankings with 879 rating points. However, their lead was not as secure as before. Australia captain Pat Cummins has jumped four places to second position on the basis of his excellent performance. At the same time, Mitchell Starc has also reached the third position, due to which the battle for the top position has become more exciting.
Pat Cummins made a brilliant comeback against England in the third Ashes Test played in Adelaide, taking a total of six wickets. He took three wickets each in the first and second innings. With this victory, Australia took an unassailable 3-0 lead in the Ashes series and also retained the trophy. This performance of Cummins has also had a direct impact on the ICC rankings.
