In the most recent ICC ODI rankings released on Wednesday, India’s star pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah falls to second place among bowlers but all-arounder Hardik Pandya shot up a huge 13 spots to eighth place. This is due to his great performance against England. India won the enthralling ODI series by a slim margin of 2-1, but star pacer Bumrah was forced to miss the championship game due to back spasms, which cost him his top rank.
Trent Boult of New Zealand recaptured first place with 704 rating points against Bumrah’s 703 rating points.
