Among bowlers, seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the best-placed Indian at 20th, having dropped a run while pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah fell two places to 26th.
No Indian featured in the all-rounder’s list. India, though, hasn’t feature in T20 Internationals in recent weeks.
Left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein and fast bowler Jason Holder achieved career-best rankings among bowlers after helping the West Indies to a 17-run victory in the fifth T20I against England in Bridgetown. In the latest weekly update to the men’s rankings, which considers performances in the last three matches of the series, Hosein moved up 15 places to the 18th position after a haul of four for 30 that helped him finish with six wickets in three matches.
