Along with teammate Kagiso Rabada, Tahir broke into the top 10 in the bowling rankings, post his side’s series sweep over Zimbabwe at home. Rabada moved three places as well, stationing himself at the sixth spot.
The batting rankings saw little movements in the bottom half of the top-10: while Virat Kohli continued to rule the charts, Kane Williamson moved one spot to be eighth, while Quinton de Kock and Jonny Bairstow budged one position down and up respectively, to claim shared honours for the ninth place.
In the bowling rankings, apart from Tahir and Rabada’s movement, England’s Adil Rashid and Hasan Ali slipped two places each to share the eighth spot, and Afghanistan’s finger spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman dropped two places but just about stayed in the top 10.
While Kohli stayed atop the batting rankings, his teammates Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan also maintained their spots in the top-10; Rohit, at 842 points, stayed on the second spot and his left-handed opening partner kept his spot at No.5, below the suspended David Warner.
