    "editor1": "<p><strong>Dubai, Dec 21. <\/strong>Indian spinner Ravindra Jadeja rose a spot in the latest International Cricket Council (ICC) Test bowlers&#39; rankings by climbing to No.7 on Monday. He is one of the two Indians in the list along with off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who maintained his spot at No.2. The bowling chart is headed by South Africa&#39;s Dale Steyn, who leads Ashwin by just four points.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ashwin and Jadeja are also there in the top-five of the ICC Test all-rounders&#39; rankings with the former being at the top with Jadeja at No.5. Meanwhile, there are no Indians in the top-10 of the Test batsmen rankings. Elsewhere, Kane Williamson has become the second New Zealand batsman after Glenn Turner to top the Test batsmen rankings after producing a man-of-the-match performance in the Hamilton against Sri Lanka which helped the home side win the match by five wickets and the series 2-0.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Williamson scored 108 not out, his 13th century in 46 Tests, as New Zealand achieved the 189-run target with five wickets to spare. Williamson earned 11 points for his efforts, enough to jump two places ahead of England&#39;s Joe Root and AB de Villiers of South Africa in the No.1 spot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>India stayed at No.2 in the Test team rankings with 110 points behind South Africa (114) and ahead of Australia 109).<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Test team rankings --<\/strong><br \/>\r\n1.
