Dubai . Jasprit Bumrah, who became the player of the match by taking eight wickets in the Perth Test against Australia, has returned to number one in the Test bowling rankings. He replaced Kagiso Rabada, who was the number one Test bowler before this match, from the top spot. Before this match, number three bowler Bumrah has gained two places. Australia's fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, who was ranked at number two, has now moved to number three.
Earlier this year, Bumrah had reached the top for the first time during the home Test series against England. He regained this position during the series against Bangladesh in October, although a relatively poor performance against New Zealand saw him drop to third position.
Mohammed Siraj, who provided good support to Bumrah by taking five wickets in the Perth Test itself, has also gained three places and is now at 25th position in the Test rankings for bowlers. Apart from Bumrah, two more Indian bowlers R Ashwin (fourth place) and Ravindra Jadeja (seventh place) are also included in the top 10.
Whereas England's Joe Root still remains at the top in the ranking of batsmen. However, he is facing tough competition from India's young opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has further strengthened his position by scoring a brilliant century in the Perth Test. Jaiswal, who scored 161 runs in the second innings, now has a career best 825 rating points and is now only 78 rating points behind Root.
Virat Kohli, who scored his 30th century in the Perth Test, has also benefited and has moved up nine places to 13th position. Travis Head has returned to the top 10 after scoring 89 runs and is in 10th position.
Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin, who were ruled out of the Perth Test, still remain the top two allrounders of the Test. However, in the future, he may face tough competition from Bangladesh's new Test captain Mehdi Hasan Miraz, who has climbed three places in the rankings for allrounders after performing well with both ball and bat in the Antigua Test against West Indies and is now at the third position.
