A series win over <keyword id="19903600" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="england" source="keywords">England</keyword> by 4-1 helped <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india" source="keywords">India</keyword> claim the top position in the ICC Men's Test Team Rankings, taking over Australia. After losing the first Test in Hyderabad by a close margin of 28 runs, India fought back in style to win the remaining four Tests against England. Wins in Vizag, Rajkot, Ranchi, and now Dharamsala have helped the side return to the top position in the ICC Test Team Rankings, as per ICC. Their relentless display in the series has helped them overtake Australia. The side now has 122 rating points in the rankings table. Australia is second with 117 rating points, while England is at the third place with 111 rating points. India will remain at the top regardless of the outcome of the second New Zealand-Australia Test in Christchurch. The ICC World Test Championship 2023 winners Australia currently lead the two-Test series 1-0 following their 172-run victory in Wellington. With this, India is now at the summit of rankings in all three formats. They have 121 rating points in the ODI rankings, with Australia sitting a close second with 118 rating points. In the T20Is, India has 266 rating points, with England (256) at the second place. This was the scenario from September 2023 to January 2024, before India slipped to second place in Test Team Rankings after a drawn 1-1 series against South Africa. Australia overtook India at the top of the Test rankings, after sweeping the three-Test series at home against Pakistan. India is also at the top of the ICC World Test Championship Standings table, with a points percentage of 68.51. Coming to the match, After winning the toss and opting to bat first, the visitors were bundled out for 218 in their first innings, with <keyword id="20275395" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="zak-crawley" source="keywords">Zak Crawley</keyword> (79 in 108 balls, with 11 fours and a six) top-scored for England, Jonny Bairstow (29), and Joe Root (26) the only notable contributors with the willow. Kuldeep Yadav (5/72) and Ravichandran Ashwin (4/51) topped the bowling charts for India. In their first innings, India again out-batted England by a country mile, with the opening pair of skipper Rohit Sharma (103 in 162 balls, with 13 fours and three sixes) and <keyword id="20895626" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="yashashwi-jaiswal" source="keywords">Yashashwi Jaiswal</keyword> (57 in 58 balls, with five fours and three sixes), contributing handsomely and putting the English attack to the sword. Debutant Devdutt Padikkal (65 in 103 balls, with 10 fours and a six) and Sarfaraz Khan (56 in 60 balls, with eight fours and a six) also came up with crucial hands. After a mini-collapse, the ninth-wicket pair of Kuldeep Yadav (30 in 69 balls, with two fours) and Jasprit Bumrah (20 in 64 balls, with two fours) raised a 49-run stand to take India to 477, giving them a lead of 259 runs over the visitors. <keyword id="20275397" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shoaib-bashir" source="keywords">Shoaib Bashir</keyword> (5/173) was the pick of the bowlers for England while <keyword id="20275396" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tom-hartley" source="keywords">Tom Hartley</keyword> and the veteran, James Anderson took two wickets apiece. Skipper Ben Stokes also got a wicket off his first ball of the series. England were tasked to cut down on a deficit of 259 runs in their second innings. Though Joe Root (84 in 128 balls, with 12 fours) attempted to fight it out for England, he got very little support from the other end. Jonny Bairstow (39 in 31 balls, with three fours and three sixes) and Tom Hartley (20 in 24 balls, with four boundaries) contributed respectable scores, but nothing could help Root avert a disaster as England was bundled out for 195, handing England a defeat by an innings and 64 runs. England also lost the series 4-1. Ashwin ended the match in the first session itself, demolishing the English top-order and ending with a five-wicket haul. Ashwin (5/77) was the pick of the bowlers for India. Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah took two wickets each, while Ravindra Jadeja got one.

India become number one ranked Test team following series win over England

Youngsters <keyword id="20294681" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sarfaraz" source="keywords">Sarfaraz</keyword> Khan and Dhruv <keyword id="20173652" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jurel" source="keywords">Jurel</keyword> were handed their debut Test caps as India won the toss and elected to bat first against <keyword id="19903600" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="england" source="keywords">England</keyword> in the third Test at the Niranjan Shah Stadium here on Thursday. The five-match Test series is currently tied at 1-1. Sarfaraz and Jurel, the two debutants who recently made runs for India 'A' in the series against England Lions in Ahmedabad, come into the playing eleven in place of Shreyas Iyer and KS Bharat respectively. While legendary leg-spinner Anil Kumble gave Sarfaraz his Test cap, with his father-cum-coach Naushad Khan being teary-eyed in the background, veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik handed Jurel his Test cap. Ravindra Jadeja, who missed the second Test due to a hamstring injury, comes back for Axar Patel, while Mohammed Siraj comes into the playing eleven in place of Mukesh Kumar. BCCI said Mukesh has been released from the Test squad and will join his domestic team Bengal for their Ranji Trophy match against Bihar, starting on February 16 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. "Good pitch, better than the last two ones we played in. We know Rajkot is supposed to be a good pitch, will behave differently as the game goes on. Good toss to win. We played well as a group. Guys stood up when they had to last game." "The next three games will be as exciting as the first two. You can't keep the bigger picture in mind. We'll have to keep focus on what we can do here and come out on top," said captain Rohit Sharma after winning the toss. On the other hand, England have moved away from their three spinners and one fast-bowler combination by including pacer Mark Wood in place of off-spinner Shoaib Bashir. The Rajkot Test will see England skipper Ben Stokes play his 100th Test match, becoming the 16th cricketer from his country to achieve the monumental feat. "We'd have batted too, that's what you do in India. Time does fly when you're having fun. Series in nicely balanced, it's a fair reflection of both teams. We're happy with how things have gone. It's been a nice break which helped us refresh." 'There was no cricket, we got the families out in Dubai. Cricket can be physically and mentally demanding, so it was a great opportunity to get away from cricket and get the feet up. The great thing about Test matches is there are so many moments where things can change and India came out on top," he said.

3rd Test: Sarfaraz, Dhruv handed debut Test caps as India win toss, elect to bat first against England

<keyword id="19899525" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jasprit-bumrah" source="keywords">Jasprit Bumrah</keyword> on Wednesday became the first Indian pacer to top the ICC Test rankings after a stellar performance against England in Visakhapatnam. The 30-year-old's nine-wicket match haul has helped him leapfrog Pat Cummins, Kagiso Rabada and <keyword id="19904099" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ravichandran-ashwin" source="keywords">Ravichandran Ashwin</keyword>, making him only the fourth from his country to attain number one position. <keyword id="20035994" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ashwin" source="keywords">Ashwin</keyword>, Ravindra Jadeja and Bishan Singh Bedi are the other Indians who have been at the top of the charts. <keyword id="19989685" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bumrah" source="keywords">Bumrah</keyword>, who was named Player of the Match after helping India level the five-match series with a 106-run victory, ended Ashwin's 11-month long reign. Ashwin, on 499 Test wickets, is now third in the standings. Bumrah now has 881 rating points with Ashwin (904) and Jadeja (899) the only India bowlers to have aggregated more rating points. Ashwin and Jadeja also have the unique distinction of being jointly top-ranked in March 2017. The batting rankings see left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal progress 37 places to 29th after completing a fine double-century in the first innings and Shubman Gill go up 14 places to a career-best 38th after notching a century in the second innings. England opener <keyword id="20275395" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="zak-crawley" source="keywords">Zak Crawley</keyword> is another player to gain after the Visakhapatnam Test, moving up eight places to a career-best 22nd position after scores of 76 and 73. Rookie leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed has moved up 14 places to 70th while Tom Hartley, who became just the second England player with at least 50 runs and five wickets in each of his first two Tests, has advanced in both lists - up from 103rd to 95th in the batting rankings and from 63rd to 53rd in the bowling rankings. The latest rankings have also factored in performances in the one-off Test between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan in Colombo. Left-arm spinner Prabhath Jayasuriya has moved up to three places to a career-best sixth position after his eight-wicket match haul helped the home side win by 10 wickets. In the ODI rankings, Australia leg-spinner Adam Zampa is up one place to third and fast bowler Sean Abbott's six wickets in the three-match series against the West Indies this past week have lifted him 35 places to joint-33rd position.

Jasprit Bumrah becomes first Indian pacer to reach No 1 in ICC Test rankings, replaces Ashwin from top

Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) [<keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india" source="keywords">India</keyword>], February 5 (ANI): Star India batter <keyword id="19929450" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shubman-gill" source="keywords">Shubman Gill</keyword> would not be taking to the field during day four of the second Test between India and England due to a finger injury, announced the Board of Control for Cricket in India (<keyword id="19901245" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bcci" source="keywords">BCCI</keyword>) on Monday. BCCI took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote: "Shubman Gill hurt his right index finger while fielding on Day 2. He won't be taking the field today." Mumbai's domestic cricket batting sensation Sarfaraz Khan is the substitute fielder and has come as Gill's replacement for the day. It is uncertain if Gill will take to the field on the final day. https://twitter.com/BCCI/status/1754354620405829672 Earlier, Gill roared back into form with his third Test century, breaking free from a 12-inning long streak of poor scores and wasted starts in the longer format during the third day of the second Test against England at Visakhapatnam. Coming to the match, England ended the day three at 67/1, chasing 399 runs to win, with <keyword id="20275395" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="zak-crawley" source="keywords">Zak Crawley</keyword> (29*) and Rehan Ahmed (9*) unbeaten. India gained a 398-run lead in their second innings after being bundled out for 255. Shubman Gill roared into form with a classy 104 in 147 balls with 11 fours and two sixes, scoring a fifty-plus score after 12 innings. Contributions from Axar Patel (45 in 84 balls with six fours), Ravichandran Ashwin and Shreyas Iyer (29 runs each) helped India secure a big lead. Tom Hartley (4/77) and Rehan (3/88) were the pick of the bowlers for England. Led by Jasprit Bumrah's heroics, India had earlier bundled out England for just 253 in their first innings, gaining a 143-run lead. Zak Crawley (76 in 78 balls, with 11 fours and two sixes) did launch an impressive counterattack, but Bumrah (6/45) along with spinner Kuldeep Yadav (3/71) blew away the rest of the English line-up. India reached a respectable total of 396 runs in their first innings mainly due to the maiden double-hundred of the young <keyword id="19904096" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="yashasvi-jaiswal" source="keywords">Yashasvi Jaiswal</keyword> (209 in 290 balls, with 19 fours and seven sixes). Knocks from Shubman Gill (34), Rajat Patidar (32), Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel (27 each) provided some help to the left-handed batter.

"I don't think there will be a drastic change of plan like we had in 2015. There are a few things we need to change and build something new. Doesn't mean there'll be a huge clear-out but we have work to do to become a top team again," Buttler said at post-match presentation ceremony.

Kuldeep, Ashwin combine to bowl out England for 218

Visakhapatnam, Indian bowlers won an engrossing battle against <keyword id="19903600" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="england" source="keywords">England</keyword>'s firebrand batting for a series-levelling 106-run victory in the second Test here on Monday, blunting 'Bazball' with their resilience in a roller-coaster contest. England began day four at 67 for one, chasing a record target of 399. They were bowled out for 292 in the extended afternoon session. The visiting team's no holds barred approach, which has largely been successful, did not work on this occasion as <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india" source="keywords">India</keyword> picked up nine wickets over the course of two sessions to bounce back in the five-match series. The third Test will be played in Rajkot from February 15. Only Zak Crawley's (73 off 132 balls) strategy of mixing caution with aggression worked before the collective efforts of Jasprit Bumrah (3/46), R Ashwin (3/71), Axar Patel (1/75) and Kuldeep Yadav (1/60) yielded the desired results for the hosts who were under pressure going into day four. After James Anderson claimed that India were nervous while batting in the second innings and did not know a safe target to counter 'Bazball', England walked the talk on Monday and went ballistic. They would have been better served taking a cue from Crawley, who saw out an intense morning spell from Bumrah before going for his strokes. Night-hawk <keyword id="20461829" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rehan" source="keywords">Rehan</keyword> Ahmed (23) wanted to smash his first ball of the day out of the park while Hyderabad Test hero Ollie <keyword id="20352520" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="pope" source="keywords">Pope</keyword> (23) and Joe Root (16) were pushing their luck, frequently attempting sweeps and reverse sweeps on a pitch with variable bounce. The visitors managed to make 127 runs in the opening session but the loss of five wickets effectively sealed their fate. When skipper Ben Stokes (11 off 29balls) got run out via a brilliant direct hit from Shreyas Iyer post lunch, there was no coming back for England. But Ben Foakes (36) and Tom Hartley (36) frustrated the visitors with a 55-run partnership for the eighth wicket. Hartley could have been Ashwin's landmark 500th wicket but the TV umpire overturned the on-field decision of a catch as the ball had ballooned after hitting the batter's arm and not the glove. However, Rohit and Co. were not convinced with the DRS showing umpire's call for LBW. Since the appeal was only for a catch and not LBW, the umpire's call for the latter was not considered. At stroke of lunch, Kuldeep Yadav dismissed Crawley while Bumrah trapped Jonny <keyword id="20461830" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bairstow" source="keywords">Bairstow</keyword> (26) in front to deal a massive blow to England, who slipped to 194 for six at the break. Crawley, by far the best batter on show, was adjudged LBW off Kuldeep with a close DRS call. On the sixth ball of his first over, Kuldeep got one to turn back in from middle stump. It seemed the ball was going down leg but DRS showed that it was hitting the leg-stump. India's standout bowler in the game, Bumrah, bowled his heart out in the two-hour session. For someone who was operating in four-over spells, Bumrah bowled one extra in his opening burst before returning towards the end of the session to send back Bairstow. He also cleaned up Hartley to end the game. Root and Pope perished while going for their strokes. Root, in particular, would be disappointed with his effort as he danced down the track and went for a wild slog without getting to the pitch of the ball to be caught at short third man, giving Ashwin his 499th wicket. While Axar Patel found Rehan's pads with a straighter one, Pope offered a sharp catch to Rohit Sharma at first slip off Ashwin and the Indian skipper made no mistake in pouching it. Crawley's play in the first session stood out. He was patient enough to leave balls in Bumrah's opening spell and when the champion fast bowler did for for a full ball, the England opener was quick to put it away with a straight bat. His cover and straight drive off Bumrah were the standout strokes of his innings. When Axar was bowling his first spell, India were a tad defensive and had both long off and long on in place for Rehan, who was promoted to bat at number three before stumps on day three. Pope played a sweep, flick and stepped out to Axar in the same over for three boundaries. Root, who had missed the last two sessions on Sunday due to an injured right little finger, was in full attack mode with his first two scoring shots being reverse sweep for four.

India bounce back against England's 'Bazballers' to level series

<keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india" source="keywords">India</keyword>'s unalloyed dominance at home over the last 12 years will be put through its most unique examination till date when <keyword id="13937" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rohit-sharma" source="Orion">Rohit Sharma</keyword>'s side faces a trend-defying <keyword id="19903600" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="england" source="keywords">England</keyword> in the first match of what promises to be a stirring five-Test series from Thursday. No team has been as invincible as India at home since their 1-2 defeat against the Three Lions led by Alastair Cook in 2012, stitching together a bull run of 16 successive series wins, including seven series sweeps. If one further breaks down the stats, India have lost just three Tests out of 44 they played in their own backyard in this phase, and this is a power walk even beyond the all-conquering West Indies in the '80s or Australia of the turn of the century. Several factors have contributed to this astonishing run over the last decade, including favourable pitches, bowlers who knew how to exploit those tracks and batters who churned out runs like popcorn from a vending machine. But two players have stood head and shoulders above the rest in these conquests -- off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja. From Thursday, the Ash-Jaddu duet will be on show here at the RGI Stadium, where the pitch is expected to turn and grip as the match moves towards its conclusion. England already have a taste of what these two can do from their past visits here, and they will be worried, particularly about Ashwin. The 37-year-old still retains the burning zest of a 17-year-old to keep improving his craft and since 2012, Ashwin has grabbed 283 wickets from 46 Tests averaging a shade over 19. Jadeja might often get viewed as a supporting act to Ashwin, but in his own right, the Saurashtra man is a potent threat, and his deliveries that dart on straight could confuse the batters on a turner. Jadeja has taken 191 wickets from 39 Tests in the period where Ashwin kicked up a bedlam in opposition ranks to ensure that they don't get breathing space from both the ends. Together, they have bagged 500 wickets at an average of 21. In all likelihood, India will also include a third spinner to the combination in the form of either Axar Patel or Kuldeep Yadav, with the former having a better chance at the moment. England will be aware that no amount of preparation involving scruffing up pitches some 1600 miles away in Abu Dhabi will be enough to tackle this real menace, and in that sense, they will also need to tame the demons inside their own minds. What could work for them is that India will not have the presence and solidity of Virat Kohli at No. 4, as he has skipped the opening two Tests owing to personal reasons. He is a towering presence against England in <keyword id="9400" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="test-cricket" source="Orion">Test cricket</keyword>. The star batter has made 1991 runs against them from 28 matches with five hundreds, but more than the numbers, his ability to master grand occasions will be missed. Middle-order batter Rajat Patidar is expected to join the squad as a replacement for Kohli for the Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam matches, though India's No.4 and 5 will be Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul with KS Bharat doing the wicket-keeping duties. Despite their talisman's absence, India is still a tall hurdle for the 'Bazball-ing' England to cross over. Of course, they have won a Test series in Pakistan 3-0 in late 2022 but a set of proven match-winners offer the visitors a far tougher challenge here. The whole furor over the return of young off-spinner Shoaib Bashir after the delay in processing his Indian visa too might have disturbed them ahead of an important fixture. Skipper <keyword id="6369580" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ben-stokes" source="Orion">Ben Stokes</keyword> has already stated that he is "devastated" for the 20-year-old rookie. But this is not to say that England are totally incapable of pulling off a miracle. Under Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, they have been able to dish out a really fascinating brand of cricket. Notwithstanding that, the visitors need more than one element to come together for a meaningful fight -- big runs from veteran Joe Root and Stokes, a few wickets upfront from the ever-green James Anderson and their spinners who have no significant experience in these conditions. On the periphery, it is asking for too much. But Test cricket is a strange and unpredictable beast and it has the history of producing some truly extraordinary spectacles. Will Hyderabad offer one or will it be an all too familiar Indian romp? The wait is on. Teams India: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, KS Bharat (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Avesh Khan. England: Ben Stokes (Captain), Rehan Ahmed, James Anderson, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow, Dan Lawrence, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ben Foakes, Tom Hartley, Jack Leach, Ollie Pope, Ollie Robinson, Joe Root, Mark Wood. Match starts at 9.30 AM.

India's Spinball vs England's Bazball: Rohit's men bank on turn for first strike

<keyword id="238471" type="General" weightage="60" keywordseo="chris-woakes" source="Orion">Chris Woakes</keyword> and <keyword id="4120840" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="harry-brook" source="Orion">Harry Brook</keyword> put on an impressive display with the bat, supported by Mark Wood's crucial contribution in the final moments of the game, leading England to a thrilling 3-wicket victory over Australia on Day 4 of the third Test at Headingley Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Five years ago Ben Stokes scripted history by pulling off one of the most remarkable victories in the history of Test cricket against Australia. Now, five years later the result still favoured England, Australia was once again on the receiving end but the only difference was Woakes and Stokes switching their roles. England resumed the session with a score of 154/4 with Harry Brook batting (40*) and Ben Stokes (7*) on the crease. Australia tipped the balance of scale as Mitchell <keyword id="1596377" type="General" weightage="40" keywordseo="starc" source="Orion">Starc</keyword> dismissed Stokes and Bairstow in quick succession. Starc with his experience ensured Stokes didn't pull off another Headingler miracle on them. The ball glanced off his bat and went straight into the hands of Alex Carey. Bairstow was next to follow as he tried to go for a bid drive, found an inside edge and the ball crashed into the stumps. Brook held England's innings together after facing an unprecedented setback. Chris Woakes joined hands with him and they pushed England close to victory with a half-century stand. With the game slipping away from their hands, Starc was called back into the thick of the action as Harry Brook continued to carry the hosts towards the finish line successfully. He sent back the young England batter with the hosts needing just over 20 runs to win and leaving Australia just three wickets away from victory. But, Mark Wood hit a crucial six off Pat Cummins next over and then smashed a Starc half-volley for four in the next over to put all fears of an Australian comeback back to their place. Woakes finished off the game by finding the fence and the crowd let out a nostalgic roar which echoed the feeling of 2019. Earlier in the match, England ended day three at 27/0, with Ben Duckett (18*) and Zak Crawley (9*) unbeaten. They are chasing 251 runs to keep the <keyword id="45331" type="General" weightage="70" keywordseo="ashes" source="Orion">Ashes</keyword> alive. On Day 3, Australia was bundled out for 224 in their second innings. Important knocks came from Head (77), Usman Khawaja (43) and Marnus Labuschagne (33). Australia was once reduced to 90/4, but a 41-run stand between Head and Mitchell Marsh (28) and another 41-run stand between Head and Todd Murphy (11) took Aussies lead to 250 runs. Stuart Broad (3/45), Chris Woakes (3/68), Mark Wood (2/66) were the best bowlers for England. The pace trio helped England get a tight grip on the game. Moeen Ali also took two wickets. Also, England was in huge trouble in their first innings and was at 87/5 at one point with Zak Crawley (33) being a key contributor at the top. Another Headingley masterclass from Stokes (80 in 108 balls with six fours and five sixes) and important knocks from Moeen Ali (21) and Mark Wood (24 in eight balls, with one four and three sixes) took England to 237. England were trailing Australia by 26 runs. Pat Cummins, the skipper was the best bowler for Aussies, taking 6/91. Mitchell Starc took two wickets. Mitchell Marsh and Todd Murphy got one each. England put Australia to bat first and the visitors were bundled out for 263 runs in 60.4 overs. Australia slipped to 85/4, but with a 155-run stand for the fifth wicket between Mitchell Marsh (118 in 118 balls, 17 fours and four sixes) and Travis Head (39 in 74 balls), the Aussies were back on track. But after the dismissal of these two batters, Australia experienced another collapse and was bundled out for 263 runs. Wood (5/34) was the pick of the bowlers for England. Chris Woakes (3/73) and Stuart Broad (2/58) also bowled really well. Brief Score: AUS 263 &amp; 224 (Travis head 77, Usman Khawaja 43; Stuart Broad 3-45) vs England 237 &amp; 254/7 (Harry Brrok 75, Zack Crawley 44; Mitchell Starc 5/78).

England pull one back at Headingley as Chris Woakes' heroics keep Ashes alive

Dubai, March 16 (IANS) <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword>'s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who bagged eight wickets, including his maiden Test five-wicket haul at home in the second India versus Sri Lanka Test at Bengaluru, has jumped six spots to attain fourth ranking in the latest ICC Test Rankings for bowlers released on Wednesday. The 28-year-old speedster leapfrogged Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi, New Zealand's Kyle Jamieson and Tim Southee, <keyword id="6355981" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="england" source="Orion">England</keyword>'s James Anderson, South Africa-born Kiwi cricketer Neil Wagner and Australia's Josh Hazlewood in the table. On the other hand, former India skipper <keyword id="6354486" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="virat-kohli" source="Orion">Virat Kohli</keyword> has slipped from fifth to ninth among batters. India's pace bowling stalwart Mohammed Shami has climbed a spot to displace fellow countryman Ravindra Jadeja to 17th, while Sri Lanka's Lasith Embuldeniya and Praveen Jayawickrama jumped five positions each to 32nd and 45th slot respectively. Australia Test skipper Pat Cummins, India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and South African pace bowler Kagiso Rabada have retained the top three spots. Sri Lankan batter Dimuth Karunaratne too has made significant gains in the latest Test Rankings, breaking into the top-5. Karunaratne jumped to a career-best No.3 after his fighting 107 in the second innings in Bengaluru. Pakistan skipper Babar Azam has advanced to No.8 in the table led by Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne, followed by England's Joe Root, Australia's Steve Smith and New Zealand's Kane Williamson respectively. West Indies' Nkrumah Bonner and India's Shreyas Iyer took giant leaps, advancing a staggering 22 and 40 spots respectively to 22nd and 37th position. While Bonner scored 123 and gritty, unbeaten 38 in the first drawn Test against England in Antigua last week, Iyer was rewarded for his match-winning 92 and 67 against Sri Lanka. England batter Zak Crawley's 121 in the second innings against West Indies saw him jump 13 spots to 49th. In the all-rounders' table, West Indies' Jason Holder has reclaimed the top spot, replacing Ravindra Jadeja, who had risen to No.1 after his unbeaten 175 and nine wickets in the Mohali Test earlier this month. Ashwin, Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan and England's Ben Stokes round off the top-five all-rounders.
