19-year-old Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan has stormed on to the top of
the ICC bowler rankings to become the youngest ever to take the numero
uno spot in the player ranking list , on Tuesday Feb 20,2018
Rashid Khan shares No 1 position in ODI's with Jasprit Bumra with 787 points
Both Jasprit Bumrah and Rashid Khan have played 37 ODIs so far. Bumrah has taken 64 wickets at 22.50 while Khan has grabbed 86 wickets at 13.26. The difference lies in the opposition they have played
Rashid has joined India pacer Jasprit Bumrah at the top with 16 wickets in the series against Zimbabwe which Afghanistan won 4-1 to become the youngest to attain top ranking. Meanwhile, Bumrah's eight wickets against South Africa in the recently-concluded ODI series has helped him move two places to take the joint-first position
South Africa spinner Imran Tahir held the top spot earlier but after an abysmal show against the 'Men in Blue', he has slipped to sixth in the list. Tahir could scalp only one wicket in the four matches that he played in the series, which the Proteas lost 1-5.
Meanwhile, Rashid's 51 runs in two innings in the series against Zimbabwe — which also included a brisk 43 in the final match in Sharjah — has helped him break into the top-five in the list of all-rounders as well, while he has also moved up 11 slots to take 115th place among batsmen.
In the batting department, there is no one in world cricket who is better than the India skipper Virat Kohli at the moment and that shows in the rankings as well. Kohli has received the highest batting ratings for ODIs in the latest rankings revealed by the ICC and he sits on the top with 909 points — the highest for any player in the last 27 years. He's just the second player after AB de Villiers to have over 900 points in Tests and ODIs at the same time.
Who decides the rankings? Who is in the panel?
No one. No human is involved in the decision making.
In the words of ICC, “the performances are ranked using a points based system which is worked out by doing a series of calculations leading to a sophisticated moving average. Players are rated on a scale of 0 to 1000 points. If a player’s performance is improving on his past record, his points increase; if his performance is declining his points will go down. The value of each player’s performance within a match is calculated using an algorithm, a series of calculations (all pre-programmed) based on various circumstances in the match. There is no human intervention in this calculation process, and no subjective assessment is made.”
It just gets better for @rashidkhan_19 as he achieves a great milestone in his career.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
