Follow Us
Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah climbed to the number one spot in the latest ICC T20 rankings while his fifth-ranked team could go as high as second if it beats New Zealand in the three-match series beginning on Wednesday. Bumrah, who attained a career-best third position in the ODI rankings on Monday, has regained this top spot after Pakistan spinner Imad Wasim slipped one place. New Zealand series is going to be the turning factor for him as that would decide his future stay at the top spot.
After the bowler climbed the top spot, he posted an emotional Twitter message which read, “Being on top of the world doesn’t mean anything unless u know what it’s like to be at the bottom.Thank you to my family & my team.#NumberOne.”
