Indian stars, Tilak Varma and Varun Chakaravarthy witnessed jump in their latest ICC T20I rankings after stellar performances in recent matches. Both Tilak and Chakaravarthy have been India's backbone in the game's shortest format as India have been a dominant force. The ICC also recognised their contributions and the two have soared high in the rankings.

Tilak Varma, who scored two centuries in the series Vs South Africa, was instrumental in India's win in the second T20I Vs England. In a tricky chase, he pulled off a miraculous win and because of his brilliant run with the bat, the southpaw has leapfrogged Phil Salt and has become the new number 2 ranked T20I batter.

On the other hand, Varun Chakaravarthy witnessed a monumental rise in his bowling rankings and has climbed an unimaginable 25 places to become the number 5 ranked T20I bowler, and is also the highest ranked Indian bowler in the T20I rankings.

Tilak Varma, Chakaravarthy have been instrumental in India's success

Tilak Varma was given the number 3 spot during the South Africa T20Is, and he didn't disappoint as the batter smacked twin centuries to punish the Proteas bowlers.

In the ongoing England T20Is, he was pivotal in the run-chase in second game as India lost a flurry of wickets and he chased down the target with ease.

Chakaravarthy, on the other hand, has been a revelation ever since he made his T20I return. The spinner has been England's biggest headache in the ongoing series as he leads the bowling charts with 10 wickets, and also bagged a fifer in the last game. However, despite his efforts, India lost the contest.
