Jasprit Bumrah has now been placed at number 1 on the ICC men’s bowling rankings after he single-handedly pierced through England’s top order on Tuesday. Bumrah, 28, dismissed six batters from the England team to restrict the score to 110.

Bumrah’s current ICC rating stands at 718, six points more than second-seeded Kiwi player Trent Boult. Bumrah’s career-best ICC rating was 841, which was recorded after a game against West Indies in 2018.

Pakistan’s Shaheen Afridi, Australia’s Josh Hazelwood and Afghanistan’s Mujeeb Ur Rehman occupy the remaining spots in the top 5 list. After Bumrah, the next Indian player to be seen on the list is Yuzvendra Chahal, who grabbed the 20th spot with a score of 601.

India’s dominating victory against England on Tuesday pushed the team’s overall ODI ranking too. The squad, headed by Rohit Sharma, overtook Pakistan, which now stands at the fourth spot, one below India.

Bumrah ended the game with dream figures. He became the first Indian pacer to take five or more wickets in an ODI in England. While costing on 19 runs, Bumrah sent back six batters to the pavilion in 7.2 overs.

Shami too got into the act from the other end and surprised Ben Stokes with a back of length delivery that seamed back in sharply to take the inside edge and Pant took a spectacular one hand catch.

India’s second-inning dominance

Skipper Rohit Sharma (76 not out off 58) and Shikhar Dhawan (31 not out off 54) steered India home with an unbeaten 114-run stand-off in 18.4 overs.

While Dhawan understandably took time to get into rhythm, Rohit regaled the crowd with some sublime shots, including the two front foot pulls off Craig Overton that went for a six and four. Dhawan, who struggled to 2 off 17 balls, got going with back-to-back boundaries off Reece Topley.
