On rankings for Test batters Rishabh Pant over takes Virat Kohli, Bumrah remains number one
Rishabh Pant has surged to sixth place in the ICC Test batting rankings, overtaking teammate Virat Kohli, who has dropped to twelfth. This leap follows Pant’s impressive performance in the recent Test against Bangladesh, where he scored 39 and a remarkable 109 runs. His return to form is particularly significant as it marks his comeback to Test cricket after nearly two years due to injury.
Kohli’s decline in the rankings is attributed to his underwhelming scores of 6 and 17 in the same match, contributing to his five-place drop. Meanwhile, JaspritBumrah retains his position as the number one bowler in Tests, solidifying his status as a key player for India while New Zealand’s Matt Henry has stormed into the top ten after his heroics in Bengaluru.
Jaiswal moved up to fifth after scoring a half-century, while Rohit Sharma fell from fifth to tenth following poor performances.
