Good to see Bumrah climbing up the rankings too. But honestly, our bowling attack still feels a bit thin in T20s compared to our batting depth. Need to find more reliable death bowlers.

Rankings are good, but the real test is the World Cup. Hope the team doesn't get complacent. We need to win ICC trophies, not just bilateral series. That said, well played boys!

Varun Chakravarthy at the top for bowlers! The mystery spinner has really worked on his game. His performance against NZ was top-notch. More power to him!
