ICC Test rankings update - Jasprit Bumrah achieves India record

Jasprit Bumrah has equalled an Indian record in the latest update of ICC's Test rankings.

Following a match-haul of 9-94 in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Brisbane, Jasprit Bumrah has not only strengthened his position at the top of the Test bowler's rankings but also equalled an India record.

Bumrah now sits at 904 rating points after the latest ranking updates. That is the joint-highest rating ever achieved by an Indian bowler in the format. The only other Indian bowler to have gone that high was R Ashwin, who recently bid adieu to international cricket. Ashwin had reached 904 points in December 2016, eight years before Bumrah equalled his feat.

No other Indian bowler apart from these two have breached the 900-point barrier.

Despite his retirement, Ashwin continued to feature in the top five in the rankings for both the Test bowlers and the Test all-rounders.

In the batting department, Travis Head has moved up one position to four, displacing Yashasvi Jaiswal to No.5. Following his rapid 152 at the Gabba, Head is now closing in on the top-three of Kane Williamson, Harry Brook, and Joe Root. KL Rahul has also moved up in the batting rankings by 10 spots after his stellar half-century in Brisbane. The India opener is now 40th in the Test batting rankings.
