ICC T20I rankings: Indian bowler jumps 14 places

India players have gained immensely in the ICC player rankings after whitewashing Windies in the three-match T20I series. The most prominent rise has been of by spin bowler Kuldeep Yadav who has reached 23rd place after jumping 15 spots.

Kuldeep reaches the career-best spot in T20Is

The Indian spin bowler had a good time in the T20I series against Windies. Kuldeep featured in only two games but was highly impactful.

In two games he picked five wickets but even more staggering was his economy rate. The wrist spinner conceded just 5.6 runs per over. Thanks to this stunning performance, Kuldeep has now climbed to 23rd spot in the ICC’s T20I ranking for bowlers.
