    Bumrah Reclaims Top Spot As Test Bowler, Jaiswal Attains Career-best 2nd Place In Batter's List

    Gavaskar Trophy Test: Following India’s 295-run win over Australia in the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test at Perth, India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has come back as the top-ranked bowler in the ICC Men’s Test Bowling Rankings. Apart from him, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is another big gainer, as he achieved a career-best second spot in the batters’ list.

    Bumrah picked eight wickets, including a five-wicket haul in the first innings, and claimed Player of the Match honours in Perth, where he was leading India in Rohit Sharma’s absence. It has propelled him to go past South Africa quick Kagiso Rabada and Australia seamer Josh Hazlewood to reclaim the throne of top-ranked bowler in Test cricket.

    Bumrah has also reached a career-best 883 rating points, the highest rating point tally ever achieved by an Indian fast-bowler. Spinners Ravichandran Ashwin (904) and Ravindra Jadeja (899) are the only bowlers from India to record higher point tallies. This is the third time that Bumrah has been top of the rankings this year, after being on top for two one-month phases in February and October this year.
