Chakravarthy`s best was when he achieved the second rank earlier in the year. In the latest rankings, he has displaced New Zealand`s Jacob Duffy, who was earlier enjoying the top spot. In the all-rounder`s rankings, premier player Hardik Pandya continues to enjoy the top spot on the list

Team India`s star spinner Varun Chakravarthy has climbed to the first spot in the latest ICC T20I bowling rankings.
The spinner achieved the feat for the first time in his career and has become only the third spinner to achieve the feat. The 34-year-old emulated fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi by moving up three spots following spells of one wicket for four runs against the UAE and one wicket for 24 runs against Pakistan.
