She is now the first Indian bowler to have breached the mark and third overall as she eyes to break the highest-ever rating. The best-ever rating in women's T20Is for bowlers currently belongs to Australia pacer Megan Schutt, who touched an 806 rating during her reign at the pinnacle. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Charani, who broke Poonam Yadav's record for most wickets taken by an Indian in a calendar year, is just the third bowler to achieve 800 ratings in the T20I bowlers' rankings, with former No.1 Sophie Ecclestone having touched 802 ratings earlier. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
