India spinner Shree Charani moves to the top of the ICC Women’s T20I bowling rankings for the first time in her career. Multiple reports say she takes the No. 1 spot from England’s Linsey Smith. ESPN Cricinfo notes that Charani rises above Smith to reach the top rank, marking a first-time achievement. Times of India links the move to Charani’s performance during the Women’s T20 World Cup, describing an outstanding run that includes taking 10 wickets in three matches. It adds that her spells include match-winning impact against the Netherlands and South Africa. The same report states that, alongside Charani’s rise in bowling, Indian batters Shafali Verma and Harmanpreet Kaur also climb positions in the batting rankings, though the core development across the sources is Charani’s ascent to No. 1 in the bowling table. The rankings update reflects her bowling output during the relevant period and results in her being listed as the leading Women’s T20I wicket-taker by the ICC rankings system.
