The young Indian chinaman, Kuldeep Yadav along with Pakistan’s Mohammad Hafeez have taken huge leaps in the latest ICC Men’s T20I Player Rankings after they played key roles in their sides’ convincing victories over their respective rivals in the recently-concluded T20I series.

Yadav picked up five wickets in two matches at an economy rate of less than 6 and helped his team register 3-0 win over the Windies. This has helped him vault 14 places to a career-high 23rd position in the bowling table.
