In a breathtaking display of skill and determination, Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has catapulted himself into the limelight in the ongoing Test series against England. Breaking into the top 15 of the ICC Test Rankings among batters, Jaiswal’s stellar performance, including yet another double hundred, has earned him a career-best 699 rating points. A remarkable leap of 14 spots now places him at the 15th spot, solidifying his position as a rising star in international cricket.
Rohit Sharma’s Commanding Presence
Leading from the front, skipper Rohit Sharma showcased his prowess in Rajkot, securing his 11th Test hundred. This outstanding achievement propels him one spot higher, securing the 12th place in the ICC Test Rankings among batters. Meanwhile, England’s Ben Duckett, with a sensational 153 in the same game, closely trails Rohit with 719 rating points, adding a layer of excitement to the batting charts.
Jasprit Bumrah’s Unwavering Dominance
In the realm of bowling excellence, star speedster Jasprit Bumrah maintains his reign at the summit. Unfazed by the competition, Bumrah stands tall as the top-ranked bowler in the ICC Test Rankings. The veteran off-spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin, reached a significant milestone in Rajkot, claiming his 500th Test wicket and securing the second spot in the rankings, trailing just behind Bumrah.
Ravindra Jadeja’s All-Round Brilliance
While Jaiswal’s bat did the talking, local hero Ravindra Jadeja delivered a masterful all-round performance, steering India to a resounding victory by 434 runs against England. Jadeja’s remarkable century, coupled with a five-wicket haul in the final innings, earned him the Player of the Match accolade—his tenth in his Test career. This stellar performance catapults Jadeja to a career-high 469 rating points, consolidating his position at the top of the ICC Test Rankings among all-rounders. With a staggering lead of 139 points over Ashwin in second place, Jadeja’s influence extends beyond his all-round capabilities, as he rises three spots to sixth among bowlers in the rankings, amassing 789 rating points.
In conclusion, the latest ICC Test Rankings reflect the exceptional performances of Indian cricket stars, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravindra Jadeja shining brightly in the batting and all-round categories, respectively. As the cricketing world witnesses these remarkable feats, the Indian team’s dominance continues to be a force to be reckoned with on the international stage.
