After an outstanding performance in the just finished T20I series against Australia, leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi has taken the top spot among bowlers in the ICC T20I rankings. Bishnoi is the latest addition to an exclusive group of Indian bowlers, which also includes Jasprit Bumrah, who are the top bowlers in the Men’s T20I rankings.

In Men’s T20I Cricket, India leads the world in both batting and bowling rankings as Ravi Bishnoi joins Suryakumar Yadav. Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan was displaced as the number one player by Ravi Bishnoi. The Lucknow Super Giants player, who was ranked No. 5 the previous week, has risen five ranks to overtake the spin sensation from Afghanistan.

After succeeding in his first task as the T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav is still at first in the batting rankings. In the T20I series, a youthful Indian team led by Suryakumar defeated Australia 4-1.

When he was ranked No. 5 last week, Ravi Bishnoi had 664 points; however, after his heroics against Australia, he gained 34 extra points. With 699 points, Bishnoi surpasses Rashid Khan, who had been in first place since March 2023, by 7.

Ravi took nine wickets in just five matches during the T20I series against Australia, making him the top wicket-taker. Considering that Bishnoi only made his T20I debut in February 2022, this is an incredible accomplishment. He has taken 34 wickets in 21 games that he has participated in.

He has raised his hand and reminded the selectors that he is a serious contender for the 2024 T20 World Cup based on his previous performances. Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, and Kuldeep Yadav are just a few of the fierce competitors Bishnoi must contend with for the coveted spinners’ positions.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, meanwhile, held onto his seventh place ranking in the ICC Batting Order. Gaikwad finished the just concluded T20I series with 223 runs in 5 matches. In the third Twenty20 International in Guwahati, he scored a century, but a Glenn Maxwell special made it all for naught.

In the ICC T20I All-rounders rating, Hardik Pandya, who captained India in 11 Twenty20 Internationals in 2023, is still ranked third. Since sustaining an ankle injury during the World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh, he has not been able to play.

Suryakumar is still in first place, though. He was healthier than Pakistan’s Muhammad Rizwan, who came in second.

During the first day of the second test against New Zealand, Bangladesh cricketer Mushfiqur Rahim was dismissed in an awkward manner. The Bangladesh wicketkeeper batsman fell victim to handling the ball while facing New Zealand’s Kyle Jamieson. He became the first Bangladeshi batsman to be dismissed in this manner.

He joined Michael Vaughan, Mohsin Khan and Mohinder Amarnath who have all been dismissed in this way. A video of the dismissal has gone viral on social media. In the video as the 41^st over was being bowled, Rahim defended a rising delivery. This caused the ball to bounce high after the defensive shot was played. Rahim in a moment of urgency inadvertently handled the ball. It can be clearly seen that the ball changed its trajectory towards the off side.

According to the rules the batsman are strictly forbidden from touching the ball during their innings, though they are permitted to use the bat and the leg to intercept it. The New Zealand team appealed for a wicket to the umpire. The third umpire duly gave the decision that the batsman was out which led to Rahim’s dismissal.

The video has got 59000 views till now. Large number of comments started coming on the video.

One user Andleeb Akhter said Lord Mushi. One social media user Subhodeep Maity joked World Cup samajh kar pakad liya tha. He said only Bangladeshi and Pakistani players can do such a thing.

One user was of the opinion that somebody should teach the Bangladeshi team to play cricket.

One user Madhur Jain said Bangladesh team deserves this and this is as per the rules.

One user joked the Bangladeshi team was punished by the Sri Lankan Gods.

One user said this is a clear case of absent mindedness on another level. One user Ashu Kashyap asked whether the the Bangladeshi team remembered Angelo Mathews or not.
