Theekshana Attains Career-best Third Position In ICC Men’s ODI Bowling Rankings
ODI Bowling Rankings: Sri Lanka off-spinner Maheesh Theekshana has achieved a career-best third place in the latest update to the ICC Men’s ODI bowling rankings on Wednesday. The move also means that Theekshana, 24, has entered the top three of the Men's ODI bowlers ranking list for the first time.
Theekshana gained four slots after finishing with 4-44 in the second match in Hamilton, including a hat-trick, though Sri Lanka lost by 113 runs. He then picked 3-35 in the third match in Auckland that Sri Lanka won by 140 runs. Theekshana has also climbed four spots to be in equal 26th place in the men’s ODI all-rounder rankings, alongside Curtis Campher and Gudakesh Motie.
Theekshana, with 663 rating points, is now just six behind top-ranked bowler, Afghanistan’s leg-spinner Rashid Khan (669). India’s left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav is second with 665 points, while Pakistan’s left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi comes after the three spinners in the rankings with 662 rating points.
