Mumbai: The recently completely tour of Zimbabwe was a successful one for the young Indian unit under MS Dhoni. The team convincingly won the ODI series 3-0 and then wrapped up the T20 series string 2-1 as well, although the hosts did offer some sort of resistance in the 20 over matches. The series will certainly be a memorable one for Indian youngsters, many of whom made their debut on the
tour. However, rookie pacer Jasprit Bumrah will pit this tour a notch higher. The 22-year-old, who took 5 wickets in the T20 series, has achieved a career-best rank in the ICC bowlers’ rankings for the format. He occupies the second position in the list led by West Indies spinner Samuel Badree. Among the batsman, Virat Kohli, who had a splendid IPL this season, leads the roost in the T20 rankings. Australian opener Aaron Finch is second in the list followed by Martin Guptill, Joe Root and Faf Du Plessis, who sit comfortably on third, fourth and fifth place respectively.
