- Varun Chakravarthy became the No.1 ranked bowler in the ICC Men's T20I bowling rankings on September 17, 2025, during the Asia Cup in the UAE.
- Chakravarthy achieved this after consistent economical spells against UAE and Pakistan, overtaking New Zealand's Jacob Duffy who held the top spot since March.
- He had previously attained second place in February 2025 and has steadily climbed the rankings following his comeback to the national team, becoming the third Indian—after Jasprit Bumrah and Ravi Bishnoi—to reach the top position.
- Chakravarthy attained a career-high 733 rating points with spells of 1/4 against the UAE and 1/24 against Pakistan, contributing to India's dominant performances in the Asia Cup.
- This milestone reflects India's growing dominance across cricket formats, as several Indian players also lead ICC individual rankings in batting, bowling, and all-round categories.
