India in ICC Men's ODI Bowling Rankings (as of 19 November 2024):

Kuldeep Yadav, India’s left-arm wrist spinner, remains a formidable force in world cricket, holding the 4th spot with a rating of 665. Known for his ability to turn the ball sharply and deceive batsmen, Yadav has consistently been one of India’s top performers in the limited-overs format. His career best rating of 760, achieved during India’s tour of New Zealand in 2019, reflects his exceptional skill and control over his craft.

However, Jasprit Bumrah, once the world’s number 1 bowler in ODIs, has dropped one spot to 7th with a rating of 645. Despite this minor slip, Bumrah’s prowess with the ball in the death overs, his devastating yorkers, and his ability to bowl under pressure keep him in the elite tier of ODI bowlers. His career best rating of 838, recorded in 2018 against the West Indies, remains a landmark achievement, underlining his class and consistency.

Similarly, Mohammed Siraj has also slipped one position, moving from 7th to 8th with a rating of 643. Siraj’s rise to the top ranks has been rapid, and his aggressive pace, coupled with his ability to swing the ball, has earned him a reputation as one of India’s most reliable pacers in ODIs. Siraj’s career best rating of 736, achieved during the 2023 ODI series against New Zealand, highlights his potential to be among the world’s best for years to come.

Veteran pacer Mohammed Shami holds onto his position at 14th with a rating of 610. Known for his ability to break partnerships and bowl at crucial moments, Shami’s experience remains invaluable to India’s bowling attack. His career best rating of 657, achieved during the 2023 series against New Zealand, underlines his ongoing importance in the team’s ODI success.

Ravindra Jadeja, one of the world’s top all-rounders, is ranked 26th with a rating of 555. His left-arm orthodox spin and all-around skills continue to make him a vital part of India’s team. His career best rating of 732, achieved in 2013 during India’s tour of Zimbabwe, speaks to his consistency over the years.

Meanwhile, Shardul Thakur, known for his knack of breaking crucial partnerships, holds the 75th spot with a rating of 426. Thakur’s ability to swing the ball and provide key breakthroughs in the middle overs has made him an important asset for India in limited-overs cricket. His career best rating of 546, achieved during India’s 2023 ODI series against the West Indies, highlights his potential.

Other players like Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, and Washington Sundar round off India’s list of prominent bowlers. Although they may not feature in the top 10, each player brings a unique skill set to the table, offering India a range of bowling options in all conditions.
