In the latest update to the ICC Test rankings, Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has reclaimed the number one spot in the Test bowling rankings. This achievement follows his impressive performance in the recent Test match against Bangladesh in Kanpur, where he took a match haul of six wickets.
Bumrah's Rise to the Top
Bumrah's outstanding form has seen him overtake his India teammate Ravichandran Ashwin, who was previously at the top of the rankings. This move solidifies Bumrah's position as one of the world's premier fast bowlers.
Other Notable Movements in the Rankings
In addition to Bumrah's rise, several other Indian players have made significant jumps in the rankings. Yashasvi Jaiswal, after a stellar performance in the Kanpur Test, has moved up to third in the Test batting rankings, a remarkable feat after just 11 Tests.
Virat Kohli has also made a strong comeback, jumping six places to sixth in the Test batting rankings following his scores of 47 and 29 not out in the same match.
International Movements
Sri Lanka's left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya has moved up to joint-seventh among bowlers after his impressive performance in the series against New Zealand. Jayasuriya was named the Player of the Series in Sri Lanka's 2-0 sweep of New Zealand in Galle.
Bangladesh's Mehidy Hasan Miraz has also seen a significant rise, moving up to fifth among all-rounders, joining his teammate Shakib Al Hasan in the top five.
These updates reflect the dynamic nature of international cricket and highlight the consistent performances of top players in the Test format.
