Shafali Nears Top 5, Harmanpreet Inches Closer To Entering Top 10 In T20I Rankings

By IANS News April 21, 2026 • 14:56 PM View: 255

T20I Rankings: Shafali Verma continued her steady rise in the ICC Women’s T20I Rankings, climbing closer to the top five, while India captain Harmanpreet Kaur edged nearer to a return to the top 10 following the latest rankings update on Tuesday.

The rankings reshuffle comes amid the ongoing five-match T20I series between India and South Africa, with several players from both sides rewarded for their recent performances ahead of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in England and Wales, which starts on June 12.

Shafali jumped two places to sixth in the T20I batting charts after her brisk 57 against South Africa, closing in on the top five, while Smriti Mandhana remains India’s highest-ranked batter at fourth.
