Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah becomes number 1 bowler in ICC Test Rankings. Yashasvi Jaiswal is number 2 in ICC Men's Batter's Rankings

Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah becomes the number 1 bowler in ICC Test Rankings. Yashasvi Jaiswal also moves to number 2 in batting rankings. Bumrah was exceptional with the ball in the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 test at Perth.

He was leading the Indian side in Rohit Sharma’s absence and he led from the front. The Indian speedster picked up 3 wickets in the first innings and 5 wickets in the second innings. He was awarded the ‘Player of the Match’ in the Perth test. 

Thanks to this excellent performance, Bumrah jumped two places to the top in the ICC Men’s Test Bowling Rankings. Bumrah’s current rating is 883 which is his career-best in test cricket.

South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada is in second place. Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood is number 3.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli also move up in ICC Test Rankings alongside Jasprit Bumrah

Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 161 runs after getting dismissed for a duck in the first innings. He has jumped 2 positions and is number 2 in the ICC Men’s Batting Rankings. The left-hand opener has been one of the most consistent players for India in the longest format in recent times. 

Virat Kohli struggled very badly in the last series against New Zealand. He scored only 93 runs in the 3 matches. Kohli regained his form as he scored a brilliant century in the second innings of the Perth test. 

 Kohli is in the 13th position in the latest ICC Men’s Test Batting Rankings.

It’s a great relief for both Kohli and Team India that the former captain is back in form. He’s one of the greatest batters of all time and a key player for India in this series. 

The Adelaide Oval will host the 2nd test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. It will start on 6th December and will be a day/night test match with the pink ball.
