The latest ICC Test rankings showcase significant movement following a week of compelling performances in both Test and T20I cricket. Rishabh Pant of India and Ben Duckett of England are the headline-makers, achieving new career-high rankings after their outstanding displays in the first Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Headingley.
Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah in action.
Rishabh Pant has surged to seventh place in the ICC Test batting rankings following his remarkable twin centuries at Headingley. The dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman scored 134 and 118, joining Zimbabwe’s Andy Flower as the only wicketkeepers in Test history to achieve centuries in both innings of a match since 2001. Pant has also become the first Indian wicket-keeper batter to reach 800 rating points in Test history.
Joe Root maintains his position as the world's No. 1 Test batter, closely followed by his English teammate Harry Brook in second place. India’s Shubman Gill has climbed five places to 20th after his elegant century in the first innings.
