Wanindu Hasaranga
Tabraiz Shamsi
ICC: Australian quick Josh Hazlewood returned his best-ever T20I figures in the series opener against Sri Lanka, taking 4-12 in a spell, before capping another haul of 3-22 last week, with a match-sealing Super Over that went for just five runs. He is now number two among the T20I bowlers, just one point behind South Africa’s Tabraiz Shamsi in the MRF Tyres ICC Men’s T20I Player Rankings. This week’s ratings come after the first three Australia v Sri Lanka matches and the second and third India v West Indies games.
In the series against Australia, Wanindu Hasaranga took five wickets in the first two matches, but having missed the final match due to COVID-19, it wasn’t enough for him to continue onto the top spot, as he dropped to the third place in the T20I bowling rankings.
His teammate Maheesh Theekshana was up 16 places to 29th. In the batters list, Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka topped the run-scorers in the T20I series with Australia with 125 runs across the three games to move up 42 places and become joint 21st.
