ICC Rankings: Jadeja enters top-10, Ashwin rises to second spot among bowlers | Cricket News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: India’s Ravindra Jadeja jumped seven rungs to be among the top-10 bowlers, while his compatriot Ravichandran Ashwin rose a place to be at the second spot in the latest ICC Men’s Test Player Rankings issued in Dubai on Wednesday.
This is the first time that Jadeja has broken in the top-10 since September 2019 progressing to the ninth position after his 10-wicket match haul in the second Test against Australia in New Delhi.
Injured pacer Jasprit Bumrah is the other Indian bowler in top-10, as he occupies the fifth spot.
Veteran England seamer James Anderson leads the list but Australia captain Pat Cummins has dropped two places to third.
Axar Patel’s late-order heroics have pushed him into the top five in all-rounders’ list, which is being headed by Jadeja and Ashwin.
Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne continues to top the Test batters list, followed by Steve Smith and Pakistan skipper Babar Azam.
India’s Rishabh Pant, who is out of action for an indefinite period following a horrific car crash, is static at sixth, while skipper Rohit Sharma continues to be seventh.
England batters Ollie Pope (up six places to 23rd), Harry Brook (up 12 places to 31st) and Ben Duckett (up 13 places to 38th) have achieved career-best rankings, as have New Zealand’s Tom Blundell and Devon Conway.
Blundell’s first innings knock of 138 has lifted him four places to 11th while Conway’s 77 has helped him move up five places to 17th.
