DUBAI: India opener Shafali Verma's recent resurgence has been further fuelled by her impressive performance in the ongoing T20I series against Sri Lanka, helping her climb to the sixth spot in the latest Women's T20I Batter Rankings.
The young Indian star has gained four spots, bringing her closer to the top position she previously held in 2020, becoming only the second Indian player, after Mithali Raj, to achieve the number one ranking in T20I cricket.
Shafali has found her best form again, building on her brilliant performance in last month's ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Final. There, she notched up 87 runs and took two wickets, playing a pivotal role in securing India's first-ever 50-over World Cup title.
