With 825 ratings, Jasprit Bumrah secures the No. 4 spot

Jasprit Bumrah, India’s cricketing sensation, has recently scaled new heights by reaching the coveted No. 4 position in the ICC Test Bowling Rankings, securing an impressive 825 rating. This remarkable achievement not only underscores Bumrah’s consistent stellar performances but also solidifies his status as the greatest of all time (GOAT) pacer.

Bumrah has been a linchpin in India’s bowling attack across all formats. His journey to the top echelons of Test bowling has been characterised by tenacity, skill, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.

The 30-year-old speedster’s recent surge in the rankings can be attributed to his stellar displays in Test matches, where he has consistently troubled batsmen with his unorthodox yet highly effective bowling style. Bumrah’s knack for picking up crucial wickets, especially in crunch situations, has played a pivotal role in India’s success in the longest format of the game.

The No. 4 ranking is not just a statistical milestone for Bumrah; it symbolises his evolution as a bowler who can dominate across varied conditions. His ability to swing the ball both ways, extract bounce from responsive pitches, and deliver toe-crushing yorkers has made him a nightmare for opposition batsmen.
