Indian spinner Ravi Bishnoi on Wednesday claimed the coveted No. 1 position in the ICC Men's T20I Player Rankings, after his international debut last year.
The 23-year-old's consistent performances have propelled him four spots up on the updated rankings, securing the premier spot.
His ascent to the top has a ripple effect on the rankings, causing Rashid Khan (second), Adil Rashid (equal third), Wanindu Hasaranga (equal third), and Maheesh Theekshana (fifth) to each drop a spot within the top 10. Simultaneously, Axar Patel, another Indian spinner, makes a notable climb of 16 places, securing the 11th position.
