Iga Swiatek continues to dominate the WTA rankings, extending her reign at the top spot to 118 weeks, surpassing Justine Henin for eighth-most weeks at No. 1. With a commanding lead of 2,679 points, Swiatek is poised to climb further up the all-time list, with Ashleigh Barty’s 121 weeks within reach.

Meanwhile, several players have made significant moves up the rankings after impressive performances in recent tournaments. Czech teenager Linda Noskova has jumped 10 spots to No. 25 after winning the WTA 500 event in Monterrey, Mexico. Lulu Sun, who lost to Noskova in the final, has broken into the Top 50 for the first time, rising to No. 41.

American McCartney Kessler has soared to a new personal best of No. 63 after capturing her first WTA title in Cleveland. Alex Michelsen has also made his Top 50 debut on the ATP rankings, rising to No. 49 after reaching the ATP final in Winston Salem.

Smriti Mandhana Jumps to Third in ICC ODI Rankings, Retains Fourth Spot in T20s

Smriti Mandhana Jumps to Third in ICC ODI Rankings, Retains Fourth Spot in T20s

By August 21, 2024 0

India’s vice-captain Smriti Mandhana has ascended one spot to third in the latest ICC ODI rankings for women, released on Tuesday. With 738 rating points, Mandhana is the top-ranked Indian batter in the 50-over format, while skipper Harmanpreet Kaur maintains her ninth position.

Sri Lanka’s star batter Chamari Athapaththu has slipped behind Mandhana to fourth place, but her compatriots Nilakshika de Silva (up three places to 32nd), Harshitha Samarawickrama (up eight places to 44th), and Kavisha Dilhari (up four places to 50th) have all made significant gains in the ODI batting rankings.

Mandhana also retained her fourth spot in the T20 rankings, with Sri Lanka’s Samarawickrama and Ireland opener Gaby Lewis reaching career highs. Samarawickrama’s impressive knock of 65 off 44 balls in the second T20I between Sri Lanka and Ireland propelled her up three places to 13th position, while Lewis’s match-winning 119 off 75 balls has lifted her four places to a career-best-equalling 21st position, which she had previously attained in July 2022.

Mandhana’s consistent performances in both ODI and T20 cricket have solidified her status as one of the world’s leading batters. Her ability to score runs at a rapid pace and her versatility in playing different roles in the team make her a valuable asset for India.

The rise of Sri Lankan batters in the rankings is a testament to the team’s recent resurgence in women’s cricket. Athapaththu, Samarawickrama, and de Silva have all played key roles in Sri Lanka’s recent victories over Ireland and Pakistan.

The ICC rankings are a reflection of the current form and performances of players and teams. Mandhana’s rise in the rankings is a recognition of her exceptional batting skills and her contribution to India’s success in women’s cricket.

By August 14, 2024 0

Babar Azam remains the undisputed king of ODI batting, holding onto the top spot in the ICC rankings. However, Rohit Sharma has made significant strides, climbing to the second position after his impressive performance in the ODI series against Sri Lanka.

Rohit’s consistent batting in Sri Lanka, where he amassed 157 runs at an average of 52.33, has propelled him up the rankings. His scores of 58, 64, and 35 have earned him 765 points, just behind Babar’s 824 points.

Shubman Gill, who previously held the second spot, has dropped down to third, while Virat Kohli remains in fourth place. Pathum Nissanka of Sri Lanka has made a notable rise, moving up one spot to eighth.

Sri Lanka’s batting lineup also saw some impressive performances. Avishka Fernando (137 runs), Dunith Wellalage (108), Kusal Mendis (103), and Nissanka (101) were the key contributors. Nissanka’s consistent performance has solidified his position in the top ten, while Mendis and Avishka have made significant gains in the rankings.

Wellalage’s bowling prowess was also on display, particularly his 5 for 27 in the final ODI. This performance has earned him a jump of 17 spots to 59th among bowlers.

In the Test arena, South Africa’s Temba Bavuma and Keshav Maharaj have made notable progress. Bavuma’s 86 in the first innings and 15 not out in the second have moved him up two spots to 16th on the batters’ table. Tony de Zorzi’s scores of 78 and 45 have also earned him a rise of 29 spots to 85th.

Maharaj’s exceptional bowling performance, with returns of 4 for 76 and 4 for 88, has earned him the Player-of-the-Match award and a jump of seven spots to joint 21st on the Test bowlers’ table.

By March 13, 2024 0

R Ashwin’s stellar performance in the fifth Test against England has propelled him back to the top of the ICC Test bowling rankings. The Indian offspinner’s nine-wicket haul in Dharamsala has earned him the No. 1 spot for the sixth time in his career.

In the Test batting rankings, Rohit Sharma has moved up to sixth, while Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill have also made significant gains. Jaiswal’s impressive start to his Test career has seen him accumulate 740 rating points, placing him behind only Don Bradman and Mike Hussey among batters with nine or fewer Tests.
