Spinner Chakravarthy's impressive performance propelled him into the top five bowlers. Other players like Abhishek Sharma and Axar Patel also made significant gains.

Talented India batter Tilak Varma has ascended to second place in the latest ICC men's T20I rankings, as per the official release this Wednesday. In an exciting development, mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy also made substantial progress, soaring 25 places to enter the top five among bowlers.
