Jasprit Bumrah, who is yet to gain his prime since returning from injury, has made way for Trent Boult at the top of the recent ODI Bowling ranking released by ICC on Wednesday. Boult, who has been sidelined due to injury, climbed to the pole position with 727 points, eight ahead of Bumrah.
In the recently-concluded three-match ODI series against New Zealand, Bumrah remained wicketless despite playing all the matches. He conceded a total of 167 runs in the 30 overs he bowled and returned without a scalp in a bilateral series for the first time in his career.
