New Delhi, Sept 25: Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has made a notable return to the ICC Test rankings, breaking back into the top 10, while stars Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jasprit Bumrah also gained ground in the latest standings issued on Wednesday.
Pant’s impressive century in India’s second innings against Bangladesh in Chennai lifted him to sixth in the Test batting rankings. Yashasvi Jaiswal, however, climbed even higher, moving to fifth with 751 rating points, driven by his key half-century in the first innings of the same match.
Bumrah ranked 2nd, Ashwin on top, Jadeja no. 1 all-rounder
Jasprit Bumrah, who picked up five wickets in the Chennai Test, including an impressive four-wicket haul, held on to his second position in the Test bowling rankings with 854 points, just behind Ravichandran Ashwin, who remains at the top with 871 points after a six-wicket haul in the second innings. Ravindra Jadeja also advanced one spot, securing sixth place.
