On Wednesday, Jasprit Bumrah surpassed Ravichandran Ashwin’s record of 904 rating points, becoming him the highest-ever ranked Indian Test bowler in ICC rankings history, according to ICC.
According to the International Cricket Council (ICC), India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah surpassed Ravichandran Ashwin’s record of 904 rating points on Wednesday, becoming him the highest-ever ranked Indian Test bowler. This news was announced in New Delhi, India.
Bumrah and Derek Underwood of England are tied for 17th place all-time with 907 points.
In the most recent rankings update, Bumrah was solidified as the No. 1 Test bowler. His relentless performance in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series earned him nine wickets in the MCG encounter between Australia and India.
Also, Australia’s captain Pat Cummins sees some good movement in the Test Bowling Rankings; he moves up one spot to No. 3 after jumping fifteen rating points thanks to his six scalps on Boxing Day. Following his bowling exploits and 90 important runs in Australia’s spectacular victory in Melbourne, Cummins also secures third place in the Test All-Rounder Rankings.
Marco Jansen, another pacer who gained ground on Boxing Day, is now ranked fifth in bowling. Jansen took seven wickets in the Proteas’ victory over Pakistan in the Centurion match on Boxing Day, moving him up six spots in the rankings. Jansen has never before surpassed 800 rating points.
While South Africa beat Pakistan to get to the ICC Test Championship final, Aiden Markram batted resolutely for 89 and 37 runs, putting him back in the top 20 hitters in the world.
They moved up the Test batting rankings because to the gritty performances of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Steve Smith, Saud Shakeel, and Nitish Kumar Reddy in the games mentioned above.
However, as a result of the free-flowing run-scoring in Bulawayo, the Zimbabwe-Afghanistan Boxing Day Test saw as many as six hundreds scored. Rahmat Shah and Hashmatullah Shahidi, who both scored double hundreds, gained significant batting rankings.
Sean Williams, Craig Ervine, and Brian Bennett—followed by Bennett’s first five-wicket haul, which put him in the top 100 Test bowlers—were the hosts’ benefactors.
In addition, some players from the current Twenty20 International series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand rose in the rankings. Mitchell Santner shot into the top ten in the bowling rankings, and Pathum Nissanka moved up three spots to get closer to the top five hitters.
