In the latest ICC Women's T20I Player Rankings, released on January 6, 2026, there have been shifts in the positions of key Indian players. While there's been some reshuffling, India's strong presence in the top rankings remains evident.

Deepti Sharma, the ace all-rounder, has lost her top spot in the T20I bowling rankings. She now sits in second place, with 735 rating points. Australia's Annabel Sutherland has reclaimed the No. 1 position with 736 points, after Deepti briefly held the top spot. Sutherland previously held the top rank in August 2025. Deepti's recent performance of 1 for 28 in the fifth T20I against Sri Lanka wasn't enough to maintain her lead. Despite losing the top spot, Deepti's overall performance remains strong, and she continues to be a key player for India. In addition to her bowling prowess, Deepti also holds the third position in the T20I all-rounder rankings.

In the batting rankings, Jemimah Rodrigues has slipped out of the top 10 and is now positioned at 12th.

On a positive note, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur has made significant gains, moving up two places to 13th in the batting charts. This rise is attributed to her match-winning performance against Sri Lanka, where she scored a decisive 68 off 43 deliveries in the fifth and final T20I in Thiruvananthapuram. This earned her the Player of the Match award. Harmanpreet's climb reflects her importance in the middle order as India prepares for major ICC events.

Other notable movements in the rankings include Indian left-arm spinner Shree Charani, who advanced five places to 47th in the bowling rankings. Smriti Mandhana continues to be a mainstay in the top ranks, holding the third position in T20Is.

These rankings reflect the performances from the recently concluded India-Sri Lanka T20I series, which India swept 5-0, and other international fixtures. The shifts in rankings highlight the dynamic nature of T20I cricket and the ongoing competition among top players.
