In the five-match white ball T20I series, Pakistani pace bowler Haris Rauf has displayed some phenomenal form against New Zealand. He pushed off Shadab Khan and Shaheen Afridi to take the top spot among Pakistani bowlers in the ICC T20I bowling rankings with ten wickets in three T20Is.
In the ongoing T20I series, Rauf picked up back-to-back four-wicket hauls against New Zealand, winning the Player of the Match in the first game. The Pakistan quick was just ahead of Shaheen Afridi last week and behind Shadab Khan, who was 12th in the T20I bowling rankings.
With ten wickets throughout the first three T20Is, Rauf has climbed five spots in the rankings to take up the 11th position. By the end of the five-match series, he may have reached a career-high rating of 657 points, which would put him in the top 10 of all time.
Meanwhile, Ish Sodhi (620) and Shaheen (624) have also moved up by four places and two places respectively with the others around them dropping points.
