ICC Rankings Update: A new ranking has been released by ICC. Meanwhile, if we talk about the ranking of bowlers in ODI, then Keshav Maharaj of South Africa is occupying the number one position. But the most important thing is that India’s Kuldeep Yadav has suddenly made a huge leap in this ranking. The special thing is that Kuldeep has not played any match for some time, then how did this happen.
Kuldeep Yadav did not play even in India vs Bangladesh series
The biggest question during the India vs Bangladesh Test series was why Kuldeep Yadav did not get a chance. He remained sitting out in the Chennai Test also, while he did not get a chance to play even at his home in Kanpur. Meanwhile, in the ranking that has come now, Kuldeep Yadav has occupied the third position. However, here we are not talking about Test but ODI ranking. Although Kuldeep has not played ODI for some time, still he has benefited.
Keshav Maharaj is currently number one in the ICC ODI bowlers’ rankings.
Talking about bowlers in ICC ODI rankings, South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj is at number one with a rating of 695, we have already told you this. Now Rashid Khan of Afghanistan has reached the second position. His rating has increased to 668 and he has got a jump of two places. Meanwhile, India’s Kuldeep Yadav has reached third place with a rating of 665.
Kuldeep benefited from the loss of Adam Zampa and Josh Hazlewood.
Actually this has happened because Australia’s Adam Zampa and Josh Hazlewood have suffered losses. Kuldeep did not play any match, hence his rating has not decreased, but Edge Zampa and Hazlewood could not do anything special in the Australia vs England ODI series, hence his rating has decreased. Currently, Adam Zampa is at number 4 with a rating of 663 and Josh Hazlewood is at number 5 with a rating of 656. Both have had to drop two places. Kuldeep Yadav has got the benefit of this and he has succeeded in reaching the third position.
