Mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy has ascended to a career-best rating of 818 points in the ICC Men's T20I Bowler Rankings. This significant achievement sees him solidify his position at the pinnacle of T20I bowling, boasting a substantial 119-point lead over his closest competitor, New Zealand's Jacob Duffy.
