Meanwhile, compatriot Deepti Sharma climbed four places to second in the latest ICC Women’s T20I Player Rankings released in Dubai on Tuesday (September 15, 2026). India spinner Shree Charani retained the top spot with career-best rating points.
In batting rankings, Shafali Verma’s outstanding tournament has seen her jump from seventh to sixth. Charani’s outstanding 4/20 in the Women’s T20 Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka lifted the left-arm spinner above the 800-point mark for the first time to a career-best 804. India’s bowling attack was further rewarded with Deepti moving up four places to second after finishing the Asia Cup as the tournament’s leading wicket-taker with 14 scalps. Seamer Nandani Sharma has climbed 10 places to 94th following an impressive tournament with the ball, while leg-spinner Prema Rawat has made one of the biggest gains of the week, surging 50 places to 96th. Shafali was the leading run-scorer at the Asia Cup with 236 runs, including scores of 64 in the semifinal and 68 in the final. Shafali now has 741 rating points — her highest since October 2021.
