Indian all-rounderDeepti Sharma has topped the ICC Women's T20I Bowling Rankings for the first time in her career, while South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt has regained the No.1 position in the ICC Women's ODI Batting Rankings after the latest weekly update on Tuesday, December 23.
Deepti's haul of 4-1-20-1 in the opening T20I of India Women's ongoing home series against Sri Lanka Women in Visakhapatnam was enough for the off-spinner to overtake Australian fast bowler Annabel Sutherland, pipping her by one rating point to sit at the top of the table with 737 points.
On the other hand, Wolvaardt slammed successive centuries in the second and third matches of their home series against Ireland - 124 and 100 not out - to run up a nine-point lead over India opener Smriti Mandhana and reach a career-best 820 rating points.
