Dubai: Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has made a comeback into the top 10 of the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) bowling rankings on the back of a stellar performance in the first Test against England but skipper Virat Kohli has slipped to the fifth spot in the batting rankings. Bumrah, who reached his career-best third ranking in September 2019, took nine wickets for 110 runs in the Nottingham Test match. With this, he has climbed 10 places to the ninth position in the bowlers’ list.

Kohli loses a notch

Kohli could not even open an account in the only innings of the first Test as he slipped a place down to fifth in the batting rankings. England captain Joe Root has moved up to the fourth spot in his place. He won the man of the match award for his innings of 49 and 109. This gave him 49 rating points. Indian opener Rohit Sharma and wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant continue to be in sixth and seventh positions respectively.

Jadeja reached 36th in batting

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has moved up three places to 36th in the batting list while KL Rahul has made a comeback in the Test rankings at 56th position with his 84 and 26 runs. Jadeja has moved up one place to the second position in the ranking list of all-rounders. India’s senior spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is fourth in this list. Ashwin did not find a place in the playing XI in the first Test but he remains second only to Pat Cummins of Australia in the bowlers’ list.

Shardul Thakur jumps tall

Shardul Thakur has jumped 19 places to be 55th in the bowlers’ list. England pacers James Anderson (up one place to seventh) and Ollie Robinson (up 22 places to 46th) also moved up the rankings released on Wednesday. Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan regained the number one spot in the all-rounders’ list in the T20I rankings. He had earlier reached the top in October 2017.
