Axar, Yashasvi Achieve Career-best Positions In T20I Rankings
Axar Patel: Following strong performances in the two T20Is against Afghanistan so far, India’s left-arm spin all-rounder Axar Patel and young left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal have achieved career-best positions in the recent update of the ICC men’s T20I rankings on Wednesday.
Patel has advanced 12 places to a career-best fifth position among rankings for bowlers in the shortest format. His hauls of 2-23 and 2-16 in India’s identical six-wicket wins over Afghanistan in the first two T20Is of their three-match series have also lifted him two places to 16th position among all-rounders.
Jaiswal’s 34-ball 68 in the second T20I in Indore after missing series opener in Mohali due to a groin strain has lifted him seven places to a career-best sixth position while seam-bowling all-rounder Shivam Dube’s successive unbeaten knocks of 60 and 63 have helped him shoot up from 265th to 58th place in the rankings for the batters.
