      Joe Root has been rewarded for his consistent show in whites as he has reclaimed the top spot in the newly released ICC Test rankings for batsmen after nearly 6 years.

      The English skipper started the series vs India in the 5th position but tons of runs so far helped him overtake Virat Kohli, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson to to the number 1 spot.

      Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma leapfrogged Virat Kohli to his career-best 5th position. He is now India's highest-ranked Test batsman. The last time an Indian batter was ranked higher than Virat was way back in 2017 when Cheteshwar Pujara was ranked 2nd and Kohli 5th.
