they are good bowlers so understandably there. being a pacer these days is a big challenge but mustafizur should be there, maybe bangladesh don't play that many games that's why he is not there.

White ball cricket has never been harder for fast bowlers. This is expected.

 

[cricketindiafan]

7 wrist spinners in that list! Add Kuldeep, who will soon get there, and that will make 8 leggies in top 10 rankings.

This proves that t20 rankings are big joke,regular fast bowlers mostly get rested for more important one day and test
Spinners are less prone to injury so they feature more

Wow, great logic.

These rankings are most definitely inaccurate but its funny that some haters were bashing Inzamam because he did not select any "front-line spinners" in the T20 squad. But there you see both Shadab and Imad (former #1 ranked T20i bowler) sitting in the top ten.

 

[Hasan123]

Spin dominating T20 cricket and the revoluanriary doesn't select a specalist spinner. Shadab wouldn't be selected on just his bowling. Imad in T20s would.

 

[JattMaula]

Wow, great logic.

Actually he is somewhat correct. You lose 2% of your points when you don't play an t20i .

Kuldeep Yadav, Adam Zampa vault into top five in T20I rankings

India's Kuldeep Yadav and Australia's Adam Zampa made the most significant gains in the latest MRF Tyres ICC Men's T20I Player Rankings.

India left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who took four wickets across the three Twenty20 Internationals against Australia, moved up a whopping 20 places to No.3. Adam Zampa, the Australia leggie, meanwhile made a 17-spot leap to No.5 after picking three wickets against India across two bowling innings, including a match-winning spell of 2/22 in the first match.

And with Australia quicks Billy Stanlake and Andrew Tye slipping five places to No.14 and eight places to No.18 respectively, the top 10 bowlers' list now features nine spinners – Pakistan's Faheem Ashraf the lone quick among the top names.

Krunal Pandya, who claimed a stunning 4/36 in India's series levelling-win in the third game, rose 66 places to No.98, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah held their places at No.19 and No.21 respectively.

In the batting department, the results were mixed. India opener Shikhar Dhawan moved up five places to No.11 after his knocks of 76 and 41, but Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul slipped two spots to No.6 and No.9 respectively, while Virat Kohli kept his spot at No.14 after scores of 4 and 61* – the latter a match-winning effort.

For Australia, skipper Aaron Finch, who failed to really be his destructive self in all four games including the one-off T20I against South Africa, slipped one spot to the third rank, but Glenn Maxwell rose to the fifth place from No.6 after scores of 38, 46, 19 and 13.

South Africa's top-order batsmen made small gains after the victory in the only match against Australia. Skipper Faf du Plessis moved up one place to No.21. Quinton de Kock too moved up one place to No.36 too, while Reeza Hendricks rose three places to No.72.

In the bowling department too there were several upward movers – Chris Morris went up six places to No.27 and Andile Phehlukwayo four places to No.38.

In the all-rounders' charts, Marcus Stoinis rising 34 places to No.59, while Glenn Maxwell retained his place at the perch.
