Yuzvendra Chahal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar | GettyIndia captain Virat Kohli and senior batsman KL Rahul stayed put at fifth and sixth position respectively in the latest ICC T20I batting rankings issued on Wednesday (July 28, 2021).

This is despite both of them not being part of the ongoing India vs Sri Lanka T20I series as they are in England preparing for the upcoming five-Test series against the hosts. But the dividends for India’s win in the first T20I are being reaped by pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar and leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.
