Jasprit Bumrah regains top spot in ICC ODI rankings for bowlers

TIL Desk Sports/ India pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah on Wednesday regained the top spot in the ICC Men’s ODI Player Rankings after a career-best haul of 6 for 19 that helped India defeat England by 10-wicket in the first ODI at The Kennington Oval on Tuesday.

Bumrah had lost the top spot to New Zealand’s Trent Boult in February 2020 after being No. 1 for most of the preceding two years. He has been at the top for a total of 730 days, more than any other Indian and the ninth-most in history.

Bumrah, who has been No. 1 in T20Is in the past and is currently at a career-best third position in Tests, is only the second Indian pacer after Kapil Dev to be No. 1 in the ODI rankings. Maninder Singh, Anil Kumble and Ravindra Jadeja are the other India bowlers to have attained top ranking.

Bumrah’s new-ball partner Mohammad Shami too has gained after grabbing 3/31 and playing his role in bundling England out for 110 in 25.2 overs. Shami has progressed three spots to reach joint-23rd position along with team-mate Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
