# Shree Charani breaks all-time T20I bowling ranking record with 817 points 2026-09-29T10:27:57+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets India spinner Shree Charani has set the record for the highest rating points in women's T20I bowling history, reaching 817 points. The 22-year-old surpassed Megan Schutt's eight-year-old mark of 806 points after taking 12 wickets in India's Asia Cup title win and another six in the Asian Games, where India won gold. She took 4 for 20 in the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka. Charani's career-best figures of 4 for 10 against Japan in the Asian Games helped India reach the semi-finals. She then took two wickets in the gold medal match. Deepti Sharma climbed to 754 points after her three-wicket haul in the same final, and Smriti Mandhana returned to the top five of the T20I batting rankings after scoring 79 in the Asian Games final. The next ICC ranking update will show whether Charani extends her new peak. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both editions report the same milestone, but indiatvnews.com builds a celebratory package around it, adding separate updates on Deepti Sharma, Smriti Mandhana and the Zimbabwe-West Indies series. Cricinfo.com delivers a single-fact bulletin. The INDIATV framing treats the record as a national sports achievement, while Cricinfo keeps it to a rankings update. A balanced reading notes the record itself is the news: a 22-year-old spinner reaching 817 rating points, a figure no woman has touched before. The next rankings release, due after the upcoming international window, will show whether Charani extends or holds that peak. ## Coverage - indiatvnews.com (neutral report) Leading with 'creates history' and adding extra India players updates - cricinfo.com (neutral report) Single-fact bulletin on the record only Tags: Asia Cup, Asian Games 2023, ICC Womens T20I Rankings, India women's cricket, Shree Charani Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/shree-charani-breaks-all-time-t20i-bowling-ranking-record-with-817-points/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
