Root's extraordinary knock of 262 during England\u2019s crushing victory over Pakistan in the first Test in Multan has propelled him to a personal best of 932 rating points. This achievement surpasses his previous high of 923 points, placing him among an elite group of only 16 players in the history of Test cricket who have reached a higher mark.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Root\u2019s dominant position at the top of the rankings now sees him lead by over 100 points, with teammate Harry Brook climbing 11 places to share second place with New Zealand\u2019s Kane Williamson.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brook\u2019s meteoric rise comes after his remarkable triple-century in the same match, where he and Root combined for a record-breaking 454-run partnership for the fourth wicket. England's Ben Duckett also made a notable leap, moving up five spots to 14th in the Test batter rankings after his composed 84 against Pakistan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For Pakistan, Salman Agha and captain Shan Masood gained ground as well, with Salman jumping 11 places to 22nd and Masood climbing 12 places to share 51st.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On the bowling front, England\u2019s Gus Atkinson (up three places to 23rd) and Jack Leach (up nine places to 28th) benefited from their wicket-taking performances, while Root\u2019s versatility as a player was recognised as he moved up to third on the Test all-rounder rankings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

West Indies opener Brandon King surged four places to eighth in the T20I batter rankings, while Sri Lanka\u2019s Pathum Nissanka moved up three spots to 12th.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Among T20I bowlers, West Indies spinner Gudakesh Motie jumped to second place, trailing only England\u2019s Adil Rashid, with Sri Lanka\u2019s Maheesh Theekshana climbing five spots to reach fifth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
