Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj has regained his number one spot in the men’s ICC ODI bowling rankings after his six-wicket haul in the final of the recently-concluded Asia Cup.
Siraj, who first grabbed the top position in January before being displaced by Josh Hazlewood in March, has surged eight spots after his memorable performance that helped dismiss Sri Lanka for just 50 runs and enabled India to complete a 10-wicket victory in the summit clash.
Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has moved down three places to ninth.
