India trio rise rankings following impressive Bangladesh victory
A big boost on the rankings for India's white-ball stars after an easy victory over Bangladesh in the opening match of their series.
A trio of India players have been the big movers on the latest ICC Men's T20I Player Rankings following strong performances in the opening match of their side's series with Bangladesh.
India cruised to a 49-run victory over their Asian rivals in Gwalior, with Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy combining for six wickets and all-rounder Hardik Pandya the main architect with the bat courtesy of a quickfire 39* during the run chase.

Pandya’s 16-ball knock featured five fours and two massive sizes and helped the all-rounder climb seven places to 60th overall on the latest T20I rankings for batters behind No.1 ranked Australian Travis Head.
He also claimed a wicket with the ball and moves up four places to third overall on the latest rankings for T20I all-rounders and closes in on England's Liam Livingstone (first) and Nepal's Dipendra Singh Airee (second) as a result.

Arshdeep is also a big winner in the latest rankings update, with the left-arm pacer rising eight places to equal eighth on the updated list for T20I bowlers and reaching a new career-high rating following his three-wicket haul against Bangladesh.
Teammate Washington Sundar gains four places to move to 35th on the same list, with experienced spinner Adil Rashid still holding on to the No.1 ranking following the completion of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in June and England's series with Australia at home last month.
Adil Rashid bowls an extraordinary spell of 2/13 in four overs against USA to win the POTM award.
There are also some small changes on the latest ODI Player Rankings, following the completion of the three-match series between South Africa and Ireland in Abu Dhabi.
The Proteas won the series 2-1, but it was a trio of Irish players that were the biggest movers on the rankings update this week following their 69-run triumph in the final match of the series.
Curtis Campher gains two places to improve to 62nd on the latest ODI rankings for batters after a solid innings of 34 in that contest, while Craig Young (up 12 places to 44th) and Graham Hume (up 23 spots to 47th) make ground on the updated list for ODI bowlers after they each claimed three wickets against South Africa.
