Three Indian players have made significant strides in the latest ICC Men's T20I Player Rankings after impressive performances in the opening match of their series against Bangladesh.
In Gwalior, India secured a comfortable 49-run victory over Bangladesh, with Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy taking six wickets between them. All-rounder Hardik Pandya played a key role with the bat, scoring a brisk 39* during the chase.
Pandya's 16-ball innings included five fours and two sixes, helping him climb seven spots to 60th in the T20I batting rankings, just behind top-ranked Australian Travis Head.
In the T20I All-Rounder Rankings, Pandya also made an impact by taking a wicket, moving up four places to third overall and narrowing the gap on England's Liam Livingstone (top) and Nepal's Dipendra Singh Airee (second).
Arshdeep Singh, who is on the cusp of breaking Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar's records, also emerged as a standout, climbing eight places to reach eighth in the T20I bowling rankings, achieving a career-high rating after taking three wickets.
Meanwhile, his teammate Washington Sundar moved up four spots to 35th in the bowling rankings. Veteran spinner Adil Rashid remains at the top, following England's recent series against Australia and the conclusion of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in June.
In the latest ODI Player Rankings, there were some minor adjustments following South Africa's 2-1 series victory over Ireland in Abu Dhabi.
A trio of Irish players stood out after their 69-run win in the final match, with Curtis Campher moving up two places to 62nd among ODI batters after scoring 34 runs.
Craig Young advanced 12 spots to 44th, and Graham Hume made a notable leap of 23 positions to 47th among ODI bowlers, each taking three wickets against South Africa.
