Shree Charani has climbed to 802 points in the ICC Women’s T20I bowling rankings, a figure that places her among the top two bowlers in the world and marks a new high-water mark for an Indian bowler in the women’s T20I format. The rating gain follows India’s Asia Cup title in Dubai, where Charani was the tournament’s leading wicket-taker and delivered a decisive performance in the final.

India defeated Sri Lanka by 72 runs in the final at Dubai International Cricket Stadium to claim what the supplied evidence describes as an unprecedented eighth Asia Cup title. The victory produced significant upward movement for several Indian players across the latest ICC rankings update.

How did Charani reach 802 points in the T20I bowling rankings?

Charani took 4 wickets in the Asia Cup final and ended the tournament with 12 wickets in total. That haul drove her rating to 802 points in the updated ICC Women’s T20I bowling list. She is now the only Indian bowler to have crossed the 800-point threshold in the women’s T20I format.

Australia’s Megan Schutt leads all bowlers with 806 points, while England’s Sophie Ecclestone is level with Charani on 802 points. Charani had previously reached the No. 1 position in the ICC Women’s T20I bowling rankings in June 2026 with 753 points during the T20 World Cup, which makes the jump to 802 points a sharp acceleration in her rating over a short period.

Deepti Sharma was equally influential with the ball across the tournament. She claimed 14 wickets in the Asia Cup, including figures of 3/19 in the final against Sri Lanka. Those returns lifted her four places to second in the ICC Women’s T20I bowling rankings, meaning India now hold two of the top positions in that list.

Where do Shafali Verma and other India players stand after the Asia Cup?

Shafali Verma was India’s most productive batter throughout the tournament, compiling 236 runs at an average of 47.20. That output moved her one place up to sixth in the ICC Women’s T20I batting rankings, with Beth Mooney and Georgia Voll of Australia continuing to occupy the top two positions in that list.

Verma also advanced five places in the ICC Women’s T20I all-rounders rankings, rising to 15th. Her contributions with both bat and ball across the Asia Cup were reflected simultaneously in the batting and all-rounders tables.

India’s movement across all three ranking categories reflects the collective quality of their campaign in Dubai. With Charani at 802 points and Deepti now ranked second among T20I bowlers, the Asia Cup title has reinforced India’s standing at the top of the women’s game.
