Bumrah ran riot against the three Lions at the Oval by getting rid of Joe Root, Jos Buttler, Jason Roy and Liam Livingstone. The 28-year-old recorded figures of 4/6 in his first four overs before coming back to pick up two more wickets in his second spell.  His fantastic outing in the first ODI propelled India to register a massive 10-wicket victory against England.

Earlier, the Indian speedster had lost his spot to Trent Boult back in February 2020. The New Zealand speedster took over from Bumrah, who was at the top for nearly 730 days, the most by an Indian bowler and ninth-most in the history of the sport. However, Bumrah has now claimed his spot back with Boult finding himself at the second position.

Pakistan’s Shaheen Shah Afridi claims the third spot with Josh Hazlewood and Mujeeb Ur Rahman completing the top five list in the latest ICC Men’s ODI Player Rankings. Mohammad Shami too has gained after grabbing three for 31 and against the Three Lions. He has moved up by three slots and currently finds himself at the 23rd position, sharing it with Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
