Indian skipper Virat Kohli slumped to the 5th position in the latest ICC Test rankings for batsmen released on Wednesday. Kohli who scored 11 and 72 in the first Test in Chennai was earlier ranked 4th.
His English counterpart Joe Root, however, rose to 3rd after 3 consecutive hundreds, converting 2 of those into double tons. In the Test rankings for bowlers, Ashwin and Bumrah both climbed one spot to be 7th and 8th respectively.
James Anderson was probably the biggest gainer who leapfrogged to 3rd place from 6th, which is now his highest Test ranking since the start of the World Test Championship. While New Zealand's Kane Williamson rules the batsmen ranking, Australian bowler Pat Cummins sits at the top of the bowling ranking.
