There has been a reversal in the ICC rankings once again. Although Team India has not played a match since the last ranking, but even after this, Yashaswi Jaiswal has to face defeat. Joe Root still holds the number one spot, but now looks set to face a challenge from his own partner. Meanwhile, the big news is that South Africa’s Temba Bavuma has entered the top 10.
Former England captain Joe Root still remains at number one in the new Test rankings released by the ICC. His rating is currently 895. He did not play well in the last match, so his rating has gone down. Meanwhile, England’s Harry Brook has now reached second place. He has made a huge leap of two places. It has now achieved a rating of 854. This means that Harry is now getting closer to Joe Root and it won’t be a big deal if he leaves him behind in the next few weeks. The former New Zealand captain still remains at number 3 as before. Its rating is 830.
Yashaswi Jaiswal has lost two places
India’s Yashaswi Jaiswal, who reached second place only last week, now has to come down. It has the same rating of 825 as before, but has now moved up to number four. Jaiswal has suffered because of Harry Brook. However, he will get a chance to play a big innings in the second match of the Australia series and will again occupy the same position he occupied earlier.
Temba Bavuma did wonders, managing to finish in tenth place
Meanwhile, if we talk about these top 4 batsmen, Daryl Mitchell of New Zealand is at number 5 as before with 753 rating. India’s Rishabh Pant is still at number six with a rating of 736. Sri Lanka’s Kamendu Mendis has gained two places. His rating is now 733. Australia’s Steve Smith has dropped another place to 8th with a rating of 726. Pakistan’s Saeed Shakeel has now slipped one place to number 9. Meanwhile, South Africa’s Test captain Temba Bavuma has done wonders. This time it has jumped 14 places in the ratings. It is now at number 10 with 715 ratings.
