Santner is so underrated. His all-round game in T20s is brilliant. But honestly, these rankings change so fast after every series, it's hard to keep track sometimes!

Bangladesh really dominated that Pakistan series. Taskin and Mustafizur moving up is well deserved. Pakistan's batting looked shaky though, only Salman Agha showed some fight.

As a cricket fan living in India, I enjoy seeing players from other nations do well too. It makes the sport more competitive. Mehidy's jump to No. 2 all-rounder is impressive. Congrats to him!

Happy for the Indian players holding their spots, but I have a respectful criticism: the article focuses a lot on gains from bilateral series. The real test is performance in ICC tournaments under pressure. Rankings feel a bit theoretical until then.

Good to see Varun Chakaravarthy holding strong at number 2 in T20 bowling. His mystery spin is a real asset for India. Hope he stays fit and continues!
