Pakistan’s fiery pacer Haris Rauf has made a significant leap in the latest ICC men’s T20I bowling rankings, climbing 11 spots to secure 15th place with 632 rating points. His stellar performances in the ongoing five-match T20I series against New Zealand, where he recorded figures of 3/27 and 3/29 in consecutive matches, have earned him this well-deserved recognition.
Rauf’s rise wasn’t the only notable movement for Pakistan, as fellow pacer Abbas Afridi also jumped eight places to 36th. Meanwhile, New Zealand’s Jacob Duffy continued his impressive climb, moving up five spots to claim fifth place with a career-best 694 rating points. Duffy, the leading wicket-taker of the series with 13 scalps at an average of 8.38, has been a standout performer.
