Big Gains For Rahane In ICC Test Rankings As Williamson Ends Smith-Kohli Rule

By IANS News December 31, 2020 • 13:25 PM View: 2448

India's stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane has moved to No. 6 in ICC world rankings for Test batsmen, jumping five places thanks to his century in the second Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson jumped two places to end 2020 as the world's top-ranked batsman even as Steve Smith slipped two places to third after failures in the first two Tests against India. Virat Kohli, on paternity leave in India, retained his second spot.
