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.
