Mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy on Wednesday climbed to the No. 1 spot in the ICC T20I Bowlers’ Rankings for the first time, becoming only the third Indian to achieve the feat.
“India spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has been rewarded for his consistent form in 2025 by becoming the No.1 ranked bowler on the latest ICC Men’s T20I Player Rankings,” the ICC said in a statement.
After Jasprit Bumrah and Ravi Bishnoi, Chakaravarthy is only the third Indian bowler to top the ICC T20I bowling rankings.
Over the past year, Chakravarthy has cemented his place in India’s T20I side, with consistent performances that propelled him past New Zealand pacer Jacob Duffy to the top of the ICC rankings.
