Virat Kohli Climbs to No. 4 in Latest ICC ODI Rankings

Virat Kohli Rises in ICC ODI Rankings to No. 4

Virat Kohli climbed to No. 4 in the ICC ODI rankings following his match-winning hundred against South Africa, while shifts were also seen in Test and T20I rankings for several Indian players.

Star Indian batter Virat Kohli on Wednesday moved up to No. 4 in the latest ICC rankings with a match-winning hundred against South Africa in the first ODI at Ranchi boosting his ascend.&nbsp;
Kohli made his 52nd hundred in the 50-over format, a 120-ball 135 that propelled India to a 17-run win over the Proteas on Sunday.&nbsp;
The 37-year-old now has 751 ranking points, and trails former India skipper Rohit Sharma (783), who retained his top spot, New Zealand batter Daryl Mitchell (766) and Afghanistan's Ibrahim Zadran (764).&nbsp;
Kohli overtook India ODI captain Shubman Gill, who moved down to No. 5 after missing the ongoing three-match series against South Africa with a neck injury.&nbsp;
Shreyas Iyer, who is also recovering from an injury that he sustained during India's recent white ball tour to Australia, stood firm on 9th position.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav gained one place to move to sixth after picking up four wickets in the first match against the Proteas.&nbsp;
In the Test batter's list, India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal continued to station at No. 9, while Gill slid one place down to 12.&nbsp;
Wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant was also on a downward spiral, moving down from 12th to 14th.&nbsp;
In the rankings for Test bowlers, India's premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah remained on top of the pile with 879 points, well clear of New Zealand pacer Matt Henry (846).&nbsp;
However, modest outings in the two-match series against SA recently affected the rankings of pacer Mohammed Siraj (from 11th to 13th) and Kuldeep (from 13th to 15th). In the T20I list, Indians dominated the top slot with Abhishek Sharma and Varun Chakravarthy keeping their numero uno positions.&nbsp;

Hardik Pandya, Abhishek Sharma, and Varun Chakravarthy held on to their No.1 spots in the latest ICC T20 rankings, with Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav and Mustafizur Rahman also making notable gains.

Indian Stars Shine in ICC T20 Rankings Update

Indian Players Dominate ICC T20 Rankings

Hardik Pandya, Abhishek Sharma, and Varun Chakravarthy held on to their No.1 spots in the latest ICC T20 rankings, with Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav and Mustafizur Rahman also making notable gains.

The Indian trio of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy and aggressive opener Abhishek Sharma retained their respective top positions in the ICC T20 rankings, released on Wednesday.
Chakravarthy, who became the top-ranked bowler last week, has consolidated his place with a 14 rating points gain taking him to 747 points.
Following an 11-place jump last week, Pakistan's Abrar Ahmed has made another massive leap, this time by 12 spots.
After a temporary dip in form, which saw him lose four ranking positions last week, Bangladesh's seasoned T20I pacer Mustafizur Rahman is back in top 10 courtesy a six-place jump. The left-arm pacer has grabbed six wickets at an average of eight in his last two outings in the tournament.
Pandya who continues to lead the all-rounder's list has also made bowling gains, moving up six places up to 60.
Among the batters, opener Abhishek made rating points gains while retaining his place as the No.1 ranked T20I batter. He hit a quick-fire 38 against Oman during India's final group stage clash, before smashing a match-winning 74 to chase down Pakistan&rsquo;s total of 171 on Sunday.
Tilak Varma, who helped finish the chase against Pakistan with an electric 30 not out off 19, moved up a rung to No.3.
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav too gained a place to move within touching distance of the top five.
Sahibzada Farhan, who smashed a 58 off 45 to get Pakistan going in the same game, jumped 31 spots to reach 24th place.
Hussain Talat who guided Pakistan to a win against Sri Lanka with a composed innings, jumped an astronomical 1474 spots to become the joint 234th placed in the men's T20I batter rankings.
Another massive gainer was Saif Hassan, whose 61 had helped Bangladesh get to a winning start in Super Fours at Asia Cup. The batter gained 133 places to reach the 81st ranking in the batting charts.

Varun Chakaravarthy rises to the top of ICC T20 bowlers’ rankings, joining Jasprit Bumrah and Ravi Bishnoi as India’s third No.1 bowler, following stellar Asia Cup performances.

Varun Chakaravarthy Tops ICC T20 Bowler Rankings, Makes History

Varun Chakaravarthy Tops ICC T20 Rankings

Varun Chakaravarthy rises to the top of ICC T20 bowlers&rsquo; rankings, joining Jasprit Bumrah and Ravi Bishnoi as India&rsquo;s third No.1 bowler, following stellar Asia Cup performances.

Mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy on Wednesday rose to the top of the ICC T20 Bowlers' Rankings for the first time in his career, becoming only the third Indian to achieve this feat.
The 34-year-old emulated fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi by moving up three spots following spells of 1/4 against the UAE and 1/24 in against Pakistan.
Chakaravarthy, whose previous best was second place in February 2025, displaced New Zealand&rsquo;s Jacob Duffy, who had held the top position since March.
"India spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has been rewarded for his consistent form in 2025 by becoming the No.1 ranked bowler on the latest ICC Men's T20I Player Rankings," the ICC said in a statement.
Left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav has made a significant leap, jumping 16 places to 23rd, while spin all-rounder Axar Patel has moved up one place to 12th.
Bumrah has also improved his position, rising four spots to 40th.
In the all-rounders' rankings, Hardik Pandya continues to hold the top spot, while Abhishek Sharma has climbed four places to 14th.
Abhishek has also consolidated his position at the top of the T20 batting rankings. His explosive innings of 30 off 16 balls against the UAE and 31 off 13 against Pakistan have helped him achieve a career-high 884 rating points.
His opening partner Shubman Gill has moved up four places to 39th. However, Tilak Varma and captain Suryakumar Yadav have slipped in the rankings.
Tilak is down two spots to fourth, while Suryakumar has dropped one position to seventh. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was not included in the Asia Cup squad, has also fallen two places to 13th.
The England opening pair of Phil Salt and Jos Buttler have advanced one spot each to second and third positions, respectively, after their scintillating performances in the second T20 against South Africa in Manchester.
Salt's 141 not out off 60 balls, which was the highest score and the fastest T20 century by an England batter, inched back towards his career-best No. 1 position while Buttler&rsquo;s 83 off 30 helped him attain a career-high 794 rating points and make a first appearance inside the top three.

Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma continue to lead ODI batting rankings with Virat Kohli at fourth, while Australian batters and bowlers climb after strong series against South Africa.

Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma retain top ODI rankings

Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma continue to lead ODI batting rankings with Virat Kohli at fourth, while Australian batters and bowlers climb after strong series against South Africa.

Indian batting mainstays Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma continued to remain at the top of the rankings for ODI batters with Virat Kohli at number four, even as Australian players made big gains after feasting on South Africa in the recent series finale in Mackay.
Gill (784 rating points) and Rohit (756) held the number one and number two spot respectively with Pakistan's Babar Azam (739) rounding out the top three. Kohli has got 736 points.
The Indians have not featured in ODIs in recent months but Kuldeep Yadav (650) and Ravindra Jadeja (616) still remained static at number three and number nine in the latest ODI rankings for bowlers.
While Rohit and Kohli have retired from T20Is and Test cricket, both remain active in the ODI format.
Both Rohit and Kohli last played ODIs in February 2025 during the ICC Champions Trophy in the UAE, where they played pivotal roles in India's title-winning campaign.
Aussies cash in 
Australia amassed an imposing 431/2 in the 50-over match at Mackay with a trio of their batters in Travis Head (142), Mitch Marsh (100) and Cameron Green (118 not out) cashing in with a century.
All three made good ground on the rankings as a result, with Head gaining one place to move to equal 11th, Marsh jumping four rungs to move to 44th and Green rising a whopping 40 slots to be 78th.
Australian teammate Josh Inglis also made ground on the list, with the right-hander improving 23 spots to move to 64th as a result of his innings of 87 during the second match of the series against the Proteas.
The competition is tighter at the top of the rankings for ODI bowlers, with Sri Lanka spinner Maheesh Theekshana joining fellow tweaker Keshav Maharaj at the top on 671 rating points following the completion of the series between South Africa and Australia.
Maharaj lost ground after picking up figures of 1/57 in the series finale, with his rating dropping equal with Theekshana even as the Sri Lankan spinner didn't feature across the week.
The biggest mover on the ODI rankings for bowlers came via Lungi Ngidi, with the South Africa speedster gaining six places to move to 28th following his series-high seven scalps across the three games against Australia.
Australia duo Sean Abbott (up nine places to equal 48th) and Nathan Ellis (up 21 spots to 65th) also made ground on the list for following some decent showings during the series with the Proteas.

Siraj jumps 12 spots to 15th in ICC Test rankings after match-winning nine-wicket haul at The Oval as India draw Test series 2-2 vs England.

Mohammed Siraj attains career-best 15th position in ICC rankings following The Oval heroics

Siraj jumps 12 spots to 15th in ICC Test rankings after match-winning nine-wicket haul at The Oval as India draw Test series 2-2 vs England.

India pacer Mohammed Siraj has attained a career-best 15th position in the latest ICC Test rankings following his match-winning performance in the fifth and final Test against England at The Oval.
Siraj jumped 12 spots following his nine wickets in the match, including a five-for, as India defeated the hosts by six runs in a thriller to draw the series 2-2.
With England requiring 35 runs on the last day with four wickets in hand, a charged up Siraj, who was adjudged 'Player of the Match', accounted for three batters including the last dismissal of Gus Atkinson, to earn India a remarkable win.
Siraj's best ICC ranking so far had been a 16th position that he reached in January last year.
India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who played three Tests to manage his workload, continues to lead the charts with 889 points.
Prasidh Krishna also attained a career-best 59th position after he along with Siraj became only the second India pair to take four or more wickets each in both innings of a Test, a feat earlier accomplished by spinners Bishan Bedi and Erapalli Prasanna against Australia in Delhi in 1969.
India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal returned to the top-5 in the Test batting rankings following his second century in the series at The Oval.
Jaiswal rose three spots and is on 792 points, while the only other India batter in the top-10 is Rishabh Pant, who has slipped one spot to eighth as he could not play the fifth Test due to a foot injury.
Charismatic England batter Joe Root has firmed up his position at the top with his third century in as many matches, while Harry Brook's 98-ball 111 has helped him claw back to second position.
In the bowling department, England fast bowlers Atkinson and Josh Tongue have also attained career-best positions after finishing with eight wickets each in the match. Atkinson is in the top-10 for the first time, while Tongue is up 14 places to 46th.

Ravindra Jadeja remains the No. 1 Test all-rounder with 422 points, while Abhishek Sharma rises to the top of the ICC T20 rankings, ending Travis Head’s reign.

Ravindra Jadeja & Abhishek Sharma Lead ICC Rankings

Ravindra Jadeja remains the No. 1 Test all-rounder with 422 points, while Abhishek Sharma rises to the top of the ICC T20 rankings, ending Travis Head&rsquo;s reign.

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja on Wednesday stretched his lead to consolidate as the world No 1 all-rounder in Test cricket, while Abhishek Sharma rose to the top spot in the T20 format for the first time.
In the latest ICC Men's Test Player Rankings, Jadeja stretched his lead by 117 rating points from the second-placed Mehidy Hasan Miraz of Bangladesh, getting to a total of 422 points.
On the other hand, Travis Head's year-long reign at the top ended after he missed the five-match series in the Caribbean which Australia won 5-0, following which India opener Sharma moved up to the No 1 spot in T20s.
The left-handed Sharma now has 829 rating points while Head is now second with 814 points.
"Jadeja has inflated his lead at the top of the rankings for all-rounders after grabbing four wickets and scoring a fighting 107 not out," the ICC said in statement on its website.
"He has added 13 rating points and is now on an aggregate of 422, 117 rating points clear of Bangladesh's Mehidy Hasan. He has also moved up five places to 29th among batters and up one place to 14th among bowlers," it added.
Washington Sundar also moved up eight places to get to 65th after his maiden Test century and a 203-run defiant stand with Jadeja for the fifth wicket, which ensured a remarkable draw in the fourth Test at Manchester.
"Sundar has also moved up eight positions to joint-13th among all-rounders, having also taken two wickets in the match," the ICC said.
While Joe Root also extended his lead by 37 points as the top ranked batter in Tests from the second placed Kane Williamson, England captain Ben Stokes moved up three places to get to the third spot among all-rounders which is also his highest ranking since December 2022.
Root struck a fine 150 in England's only innings at Manchester while Stokes recorded a five-for and also made a valuable 141.
England bowlers Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes also made gains in the latest rankings. "The Test bowling rankings see fast bowler Jofra Archer continue his impressive return after four years, his haul of three for 73 lifting him 38 places to 63rd position," the ICC said.
"Chris Woakes is up one place to 23rd after finishing with three wickets in the match, which included a double-strike early in the Indian second innings," it added.
England's Ben Duckett moved up five places to get to 10th, Zak Crawley reached 43rd and Ollie Pope got to the 24th, the ICC informed.
The conclusion of the T20I series between Australia and the West Indies saw wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis breaking into top 10.
"Josh Inglis's 172 runs in the five-match series, including two half-centuries, has helped him up six places to ninth position, while Tim David (up 12 places to 18th) and Cameron Green (up 64 places to 24th) have attained career-bests," the ICC said.
"For the West Indies, Brandon King is up nine places to joint-21st," it added.

Joe Root Tops ICC Test Rankings; Jadeja Rises

Joe Root returns to the top of ICC Test rankings after Lord&rsquo;s century, while Jasprit Bumrah retains his No. 1 spot among bowlers. Jadeja and Rahul make notable gains.

Star England batter Joe Root reclaimed the top position in the ICC men's Test rankings within a week of losing it while India's all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja climbed to the 34th spot in the latest list released on Wednesday.
Root's scores of 104 and 40 in the third Test of the five-match series against India at Lord's that England won by 22 runs helped him start his eighth stint at the top.
At 34, he is the oldest No. 1 Test batter since Kumar Sangakkara in December 2014, when the Sri Lankan was 37. Root had lost his top spot to compatriot Harry Brook, who has slipped behind Kane Williamson to third position.
Among Indian batters, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and vice-captain Rishabh Pant have dropped down a rung each and are currently placed fifth and eighth respectively, while skipper Shubman Gill has also fallen three places to ninth.
However, Jaeja has risen five places to 34th after scores of 72 and a fighting 61 not out at Lord's. KL Rahul, who made 100 and 39 in the same match, has also climbed five places and now sits one spot behind Jadeja on 35th.
England captain Ben Stokes' player of the match effort of 77 runs and five wickets at the Lord's have lifted him two places to 42nd among batters and one spot to 45th among bowlers.
Bumrah holds firm at No 1 ================= Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah continues to dominate the Test bowling rankings, retaining the top spot with a commanding 50-point lead over South Africa's Kagiso Rabada.
Australian quick Scott Boland has made a significant jump, rising six spots to a career-best sixth place.
Bolland, whose 62 wickets in Test cricket have come at just 16.53 apiece with only ICC Hall of Famers George Lohmann and Sydney Barnes having taken wickets at a better average, joins his four compatriots already in the top 10 -- Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Starc.
This kind of domination has not been seen since England had six bowlers in the top 12 in 1958.
India all-rounder Washington Sundar has moved from 58th to 46th position.

Shubman Gill solidifies his top spot in the ICC ODI rankings, increasing his lead over Babar Azam. Virat Kohli moves to fifth, while Keshav Maharaj and Matt Henry enter the top five bowlers.

Shubman Gill consolidates top spot in ICC ODI rankings, Kohli re-enters top five

Shubman Gill solidifies his top spot in the ICC ODI rankings, increasing his lead over Babar Azam. Virat Kohli moves to fifth, while Keshav Maharaj and Matt Henry enter the top five bowlers.

India opener Shubman Gill on Wednesday (February 26, 2025) consolidated his position atop the ICC ODI Batting Rankings after playing a big role in his team's qualification for the semifinals of the Champions Trophy.
Gill, who scored a match-winning 101 not out against Bangladesh and 46 against Pakistan in Group A matches played in Dubai this past week, has gained 21 rating points and moved up to 817 rating points, increasing the gap with second-placed Babar Azam from 23 to 47 points.
Virat Kohli's unbeaten 100 against Pakistan has helped him overtake Daryl Mitchell of New Zealand to fifth position while K.L. Rahul has moved up two places to 15th position after notching an unbeaten 41 against Bangladesh.
New Zealand batters Will Young (up eight places to 14th) and Tom Latham (up 11 places to 30th) have moved up after scoring centuries against Pakistan while Rachin Ravindra's ton against Bangladesh has lifted him 18 places to 24th. Glenn Phillips is another Kiwi batter to gain, up 12 places to 28th position.
Australia duo of Alex Carey (up four places to 50th) and Josh Inglis (up 18 places to 81st), plus Bangladesh's Towhid Hridoy (up 18 places to 64th) and Jaker Ali (up 64 places to 94th) have also moved up in the latest weekly rankings update that considers performances till Tuesday (February 25m 2025).
In the bowling rankings, Keshav Maharaj and Matt Henry break into the top five while Adam Zampa has moved into 10th position after picking up two wickets against England in their thrilling Group B match.

Shubman Gill dethrones Babar Azam to become No. 1 batter in ICC ODI rankings

India&rsquo;s Shubman Gill dethrones Babar Azam to reclaim the No.1 spot in ICC ODI rankings, while Sri Lanka&rsquo;s Maheesh Theekshana tops the bowling charts ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025.

India vice-captain Shubman Gill on Wednesday dethroned Babar Azam of Pakistan from the No. 1 spot in the ICC ODI Rankings for batters on the back of his strong show against England in the recent home series.&nbsp;
The ICC issued the latest rankings just ahead of the start of the eight-team Champions Trophy in Karachi with the match between Pakistan and New Zealand.&nbsp;
&ldquo;India right-hander Shubman Gill overtakes former Pakistan captain Babar Azam to become the top ranked ODI batter in the world,&rdquo; the ICC said.&nbsp;
Gill, who scored two fifties and a century in the recent three-match ODI series against England at home which India won 3-0, jumped one place to the No. 1 spot. He now has 796 rating points compared to Babar&rsquo;s 773.&nbsp;
India skipper Rohit Sharma is placed at the third spot with 761 points followed by South Africa&rsquo;s Henrich Klaasen and New Zealand&rsquo;s Daryl Mitchell at fourth and fifth respectively.&nbsp;
&ldquo;It's a major shake-up at the top of the rankings just prior to the start of the Champions Trophy and leaves an interesting sub-plot to what will transpire over the coming weeks during the eight-team tournament in Pakistan and Dubai,&rdquo; the ICC said.&nbsp;
&ldquo;This is the second time Gill has held the No.1 ranking in ODI cricket, with the India batter having also gone past Babar to claim top spot midway through the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in 2023.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Gill has been in excellent form of late, with his century against England in Ahmedabad during the third ODI of the recently concluded series enough to catapult the 25-year-old to the top of the rankings,&rdquo; the global governing body added.&nbsp;
Sri Lanka&rsquo;s Maheesh Theekshana, meanwhile, has taken the first position in the ODI rankings for bowlers as he replaced Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan.&nbsp;
&ldquo;While Sri Lanka won't be featuring at the Champions Trophy, Theekshana earned the top spot following his exploits against the Aussies that included an excellent four-wicket haul in the opening match of that series in Colombo,&rdquo; the ICC said.&nbsp;
Sri Lanka had recently handed a 2-0 whitewash to Australia with Theekshana taking four wickets. The Sri Lankan spinner has 680 rating points, followed by Rashid at second, Namibia&rsquo;s Bernard Scholtz at third, India&rsquo;s Kuldeep Yadav at fourth and Pakistan&rsquo;s Shaheen Shah Afridi at fifth.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Meanwhile, Afghan spin wizard Rashid drops to second and will be keen to regain the No.1 spot as he trails his Sri Lankan counterpart by just 11 rating points,&rdquo; the ICC said.&nbsp;
&ldquo;While a trio of spinners in India's squad Kuldeep Yadav (up one place to fourth), South Africa's Keshav Maharaj (re-enters the rankings in sixth) and New Zealand's Mitchell Santner (up four rungs to seventh) are all inside the top 10 after making ground this week."&nbsp;
Afghanistan veteran Mohammad Nabi remains the top ranked all-rounder in ODIs, followed by Sikandar Raza, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Rashid.

Indian batter Abhishek Sharma climbs 38 spots to second in ICC T20I rankings after a stunning century against England, while Varun Chakravarthy and Steve Smith also make big gains in the latest rankings update.

Abhishek Sharma rises to second in ICC T20I rankings, Chakravarthy gains three spots

Indian batter Abhishek Sharma climbs 38 spots to second in ICC T20I rankings after a stunning century against England, while Varun Chakravarthy and Steve Smith also make big gains in the latest rankings update.

Abhishek Sharma skyrocketed 38 spots to claim the second position in the ICC Men's T20I Rankings for batters, as per the latest update on Wednesday from ICC Cricket&rsquo;s website.&nbsp;
The Indian opener delivered a career-defining performance in the fifth and final T20I against England, smashing a blistering 135 off just 54 balls in Mumbai.&nbsp;
This record-breaking knock&mdash;the highest individual T20I score by an Indian men's player&mdash;propelled him to the No. 2 ranking among batters.
Abhishek finished the series as the leading run-scorer with 279 runs at an impressive average of 55.80 and a staggering strike rate of 219.68, including a century and a fifty.&nbsp;
Despite his heroics, Australia&rsquo;s Travis Head continues to top the T20I batting rankings, though Abhishek trails by only 26 rating points.
India now boasts three batters inside the top five, with Tilak Varma securing the third position and skipper Suryakumar Yadav slipping to fifth.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya (up five places to 51st) and Shivam Dube (up 38 spots to 58th) have also made notable jumps after strong performances against England.
The rankings for T20I bowlers also saw major shifts, with India's Varun Chakravarthy climbing three places to joint-second following his Player of the Series-winning 14-wicket haul, including a five-wicket performance.&nbsp;
Teammate Ravi Bishnoi moved up four places to sixth after claiming five wickets in the series. West Indies spinner Akeal Hosein reclaimed the No.1 ranking, dethroning England&rsquo;s Adil Rashid.
In the latest Test rankings, Australian players made significant gains after their commanding innings-and-242-run victory over Sri Lanka in Galle.&nbsp;
Stand-in captain Steve Smith jumped three places to fifth after registering his 35th Test century, while opener Usman Khawaja surged six spots to 11th with a career-best 232-run knock.&nbsp;
In the bowling rankings, veteran spinner Nathan Lyon climbed two places to sixth, while pacer Mitchell Starc also moved up two spots to 12th following their dominant performances.

Jasprit Bumrah continues as the No. 1 Test bowler, while Ravindra Jadeja holds onto the top position in the all-rounders' category in the latest ICC rankings.

Jasprit Bumrah retains No. 1 spot in ICC Test bowler rankings

Jasprit Bumrah continues as the No. 1 Test bowler, while Ravindra Jadeja holds onto the top position in the all-rounders' category in the latest ICC rankings.

&nbsp; Jasprit Bumrah remains the top-ranked Test bowler, while Ravindra Jadeja holds onto his No. 1 spot in the all-rounders&rsquo; category, according to the latest ICC rankings released on Wednesday.
Bumrah, who achieved a career-high rating of 907 points ahead of the fifth and final Border-Gavaskar Test against Australia in January, has now surpassed that with 908 points. This makes him the highest-ranked Indian bowler ever. Australia&rsquo;s Pat Cummins (841) and South Africa&rsquo;s Kagiso Rabada (837) sit in second and third positions, respectively.
Pakistan's Noman Ali (761) broke into the top-10 after an impressive six-wicket haul in the first Test against West Indies in Multan.
The all-rounders' top-10 list remains unchanged, with Jadeja retaining the top spot with 400 rating points. South Africa&rsquo;s Marco Jansen (294) and Bangladesh&rsquo;s Mehidy Hasan (263) are in second and third place.

Jasprit Bumrah continues his dominance at the top of the ICC Test bowlers' chart, reaching a career-best 908 rating, while Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant also make notable gains in the latest rankings.

Jasprit Bumrah tops ICC Test rankings with career-best 908 rating

Jasprit Bumrah continues his dominance at the top of the ICC Test bowlers' chart, reaching a career-best 908 rating, while Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant also make notable gains in the latest rankings.

India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah continued to reign supreme at the top of the bowlers' chart with a career-best rating of 908 in the latest ICC Test Rankings, released on Wednesday.
Bumrah, who made history ahead of the fifth and final Test against Australia by recording the highest-ever ICC Rankings rating for an Indian bowler at 907 points, improved that tally by one point after taking two wickets in the first innings at the SCG.
However, a back spasm ruled him out of bowling in the second innings, restricting his role to just batting.
Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, who climbed a spot to be joint-ninth, is the other Indian giving Bumrah company in the top-10.
He shares the ninth spot with Australian pacer Scott Boland, who has made a remarkable leap of 29 places to break into the top 10.
Boland's stellar performance in the Sydney Test, where he claimed a 10-wicket haul (4/31 and 6/45), proved too much for the Indian batters on a lively pitch.
His efforts were instrumental in Australia's triumph, ending a decade-long wait to reclaim the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Australia skipper Pat Cummins also made gains in the rankings, climbing to number two after picking up five wickets in the final match. South Africa's Kagiso Rabada rose a spot to occupy the third place while injured Josh Hazlewood moved down two places to be fourth.
Rishabh Pant's blistering 33-ball 61 in the second innings earned him a three-spot rise in the batting rankings, moving him to number nine while India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal retained his fourth spot.
South Africa captain Temba Bavuma extended his rich vein of form, scoring a vital century in the first innings to climb three spots to number six, also achieving a career-best rating of 769.
Meanwhile, Kyle Verreynne's impressive century saw him rise four places to secure the 25th spot.

Australia, who defeated India in the last World Test Championship final, now lead the table with 124 rating points. India, who ceded top position to them, are just four points behind and 15 points clear of third-placed England. South Africa are the fourth team above the 100-point mark with 103 points.
India slipped mainly because their 2-1 series win in Australia in 2020-21 has dropped from the rankings. However, India is still the number 1 team in ODIs and T20Is.
The order of teams ranked from third to ninth remains the same. Only nine teams are now ranked as Afghanistan and Ireland have yet to play sufficient Tests while Zimbabwe too are out as they have played only three Tests over the past three years. Teams need to play a minimum of eight Tests over a three-year period to get on the rankings table.

Suryakumar Yadav is way ahead of the pack with 861 points under his belt. Phil Salt is a distant number two with 802 points.

Suryakumar Yadav maintained his numero uno position in the latest ICC T20I rankings for batters despite being out of competitive cricket for the past 3 months.
In the bowlers' rankings, ace spinner Rashid Khan, who returned in an Afghanistan jersey after an injury lay-off, was back among top-10 on Wednesday.
Surya, who will make a comeback for Mumbai Indians in the upcoming IPL, is way ahead of the pack with 861 points under his belt. Phil Salt is a distant number two with 802 points. Surya hadn't played any cricket since December, having undergone sports hernia surgery.
Afghanistan spin wizard Rashid re-entered the elite list of the ICC men's T20I bowler rankings following his contribution in team's 2-1 series victory over Ireland.
The 25-year-old spinner returned from injury in style, claiming eight wickets and his exploits saw him jump four places to ninth in the latest rankings.
The Afghanistan ace collected a series-high eight wickets over the three matches at an average of 5.62 in what was his first series since he injured his back during last year's ICC Men's Cricket World Cup.
Rashid, who first held the No.1 ranking for T20I bowlers at the start of 2018 and has consistently remained near the top, only slipped out of the top 10 recently and will be keen to maintain his position within the premier spots in the lead-up to the T20 World Cup in USA and the Caribbean.
Rashid's Afghanistan teammate Naveen-ul-Haq (up two places to 55th) made some ground following his three wickets during the Ireland series, while Irish trio of Josh Little (up seven spots to 39th), Mark Adair (up two places to 56th) and Barry McCarthy (up 15 spots to 77th) also boosted their T20I bowler ranking that is still being led by England spinner Adil Rashid.
In T20I batting rankings, Bangladesh veteran Shakib Al Hasan maintained his place at the top of the rankings for T20I all-rounders, with Ireland's Gareth Delany (up four places to 18th) the biggest mover in this category following his 76 runs and a wicket against Afghanistan.

Jaiswal is already the highest run-getter of the 5-match Test series, with 665 runs from 4 Tests. He has scored 2 double hundreds in the series so far.

The southpaw leapfrogged Rohit Sharma as the Indian skipper dropped 1 spot to the 13th place.
Jaiswal is already the highest run-getter of the 5-match Test series, with 665 runs from 4 Tests. He has scored 2 double hundreds and equalled Virat Kohli's record for the most runs in a bilateral series against England in Test cricket.
Virat, however, dropped 2 spots to number 9 as he pulled out of the Test series due to personal reasons. He though is still the highest-ranked Indian batter in whites.
Shubman Gill also climbed 4 spots to No. 31 in the batting rankings while Dhruv Jurel, the hero of India's Ranchi Test victory, achieved a career-best spot of 69.

Ravichandran Ashwin, who recently joined the prestigious 500 Test wicket club, advanced to second place behind Jasprit Bumrah in the bowlers' rankings.

<h2>Ravichandran Ashwin, who recently joined the prestigious 500 Test wicket club, advanced to second place behind Jasprit Bumrah in the bowlers' rankings.</h2>

In a remarkable ascent, India's promising opener Yashasvi Jaiswal made a significant leap into the top 20 of the ICC Test Rankings for batters. Following his exceptional performance against England, where he hit consecutive double centuries, Jaiswal has climbed 14 places to secure the 15th spot. At just 22, Jaiswal has etched his name alongside cricketing luminaries, becoming one of the seven global cricketers, and the third Indian after Vinod Kambli and Virat Kohli, to achieve double centuries in back-to-back Tests.
Jaiswal's contributions were pivotal in India's commanding victory over England in the second Test at Visakhapatnam, where he scored 209, and in Rajkot, with an unbeaten 214, propelling India to a 2-1 lead in the series. The ICC acknowledged his achievements in their latest statement, highlighting his meteoric rise in the rankings.
Ravindra Jadeja, another star of the Rajkot Test, improved his batting rank from 41st to 34th after scoring a century in the first innings. His performance with the ball, claiming seven wickets across both innings, also saw him ascend to the sixth position in the bowling rankings. Ravichandran Ashwin, who recently joined the prestigious 500 Test wicket club, advanced to second place behind Jasprit Bumrah.
In the all-rounders' category, Jadeja and Ashwin maintained their dominance, holding the top two positions, with Jadeja reaching a career-high 469 rating points.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma also saw an improvement, moving up to the 12th position following his 131-run knock in Rajkot. Shubman Gill, nearly hitting a century in the second innings, climbed to 35th place. New entrants Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel made their debut in the rankings at 75th and 100th places, respectively.
Despite his absence from the series, Virat Kohli remains the top-ranked Indian batter in the seventh position. On the English side, Ben Duckett's performance earned him a rise to 13th place in the batting rankings.
New Zealand's Kane Williamson continues to lead the batting rankings, with his recent century against South Africa marking his seventh in as many Tests, a record he shares with cricket greats like Aravinda de Silva, Mohammad Yousuf, and Clyde Walcott.

Afghanistan all-rounder Mohammed Nabi on Wednesday became the oldest player to headline the ICC ODI all-rounders' list, ending Shakib Al Hasan's long reign at the top.

ICC Rankings: Jasprit Bumrah maintains top spot, Mohammad Nabi ends Shakib Al Hasan's long reign as top ODI all-rounder

There is little to no change at the top of the ICC Test rankings for bowlers as India's Jasprit Bumrah firmly perched at the top of the list.

ICC Rankings: Jasprit Bumrah maintains top spot, Nabi ends Shakib's long reign as top ODI all-rounder

Afghanistan all-rounder Mohammed Nabi on Wednesday became the oldest player to headline the ICC ODI all-rounders' list, ending Shakib Al Hasan's long reign at the top.

There is little to no change at the top of the ICC Test rankings for bowlers as India's Jasprit Bumrah firmly perched at the top of the list.
India's Ravindra Jadeja, who is set to return in the third Test against England beginning Thursday, still led the way comprehensively in Test all-rounders' rankings.
Afghanistan all-rounder Mohammed Nabi on Wednesday became the oldest player to headline the ICC ODI all-rounders' list, ending Shakib Al Hasan's long reign at the top.
Nabi reached the No.1 spot following his 136 during the opening match of Afghanistan's three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, while the 39-year-old also picked up a wicket in the same contest to gain one place and move to seventh on the latest rankings for ODI bowlers.
At 39 years 1 month, Nabi has become the oldest player to top the ICC ODI all-rounders' table, breaking the record held by Tillakaratne Dilshan, who was 38 years 8 months when he was top in June 2015.
Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib held the position for 1739 days -- from May 7, 2019 (when he took over from Rashid Khan) until February 9 -- the longest unbroken stretch anyone has had on top of the ODI all-rounder rankings.
But an ongoing injury concern coupled with some good recent form from Nabi has seen a change at the top.
South Africa spinner Keshav Maharaj maintained his lead at the top of ODI bowlers' list while Sri Lanka duo Wanindu Hasaranga (up 14 spots to equal 26th) and Dilshan Madushanka (up four places to 33rd) joined Nabi in making some ground on the latest set of rankings released on Wednesday.

While Axar jumped 12 places to a career-best 5th position among bowlers, Jaiswal climbed places to a career-best 6th place among batters in the newly released ICC T20I rankings on Wednesday.

ICC T20I Rankings: Yashasvi Jaiswal and Axar Patel attain career-best ranks

Axar Patel and Yashasvi Jaiswal were rewarded for their super show in the T20I series against Afghanistan as both players attained career-best ICC ranks on Wednesday

While Axar jumped 12 places to a career-best 5th position among bowlers, Jaiswal climbed places to a career-best 6th place among batters in the newly released ICC T20I rankings on Wednesday.

Axar Patel and Yashasvi Jaiswal were rewarded for their super show in the T20I series against Afghanistan. While Axar jumped 12 places to a career-best 5th position among bowlers, Jaiswal climbed 7 places to a career-best 6th place among batters in the newly released ICC T20I rankings on Wednesday.
Left-arm spinner Axar picked 2/23 and 2/16 in the first 2 T20Is against Afghanistan. On the other hand, opener Jaiswal smashed a 34-ball 68 in the 2nd T20I.
Another batter to make notable gains was Shivam Dube. His 2 consecutive match-winning knocks of 60 and 63 helped him shoot up from 265th to the 58th spot.
An injured Suryakumar Yadav might not be a part of the Indian squad for the Afghanistan series but he continued to hold the top spot in the batters' rankings.

This achievement adds to Australia's remarkable year, which also includes victories in the ICC World Test Championship Final and the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup.

ICC rankings: Australia dethrone India as No. 1 in Test team in the world

Despite India's 7-wicket victory against South Africa in Cape Town, Australia have become the new No. 1 Test side in the world.

#ICCRankings #AUSvPAK #SAvIND

<h2>This achievement adds to Australia's remarkable year, which also includes victories in the ICC World Test Championship Final and the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup.</h2>

Australia have reclaimed the top position in the ICC Test rankings, surpassing India following their commanding performance in the ongoing three-match series against Pakistan. This development came despite India's recent seven-wicket victory against South Africa in Cape Town, which resulted in a drawn two-match series.
The Australian team's dominance in the current series against Pakistan, where they have already secured a 2-0 lead with the third match underway in Sydney, played a key role in this shift in rankings. "Australia&rsquo;s impressive run at home against Pakistan helped them take the crown of the No. 1 Test team once again," an ICC release noted, acknowledging Australia's return to the summit, a position they had previously held briefly after winning the WTC Final.
Prior to the latest rankings update, both India and Australia were neck-and-neck with 118 rating points each. However, India's draw in South Africa has led to them being overtaken by Australia. The ICC elaborated, stating, "With India drawing their two-Test series against South Africa 1-1 and Australia recording two wins in as many matches against Pakistan, the Pat Cummins-led side now top the Test rankings."
This achievement adds to Australia's remarkable year, which also includes victories in the ICC World Test Championship Final and the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup. Despite this, India continues to hold the top spot in the World Test Championship points table with a percentage of 54.16 from four Tests, comprising two wins, one loss, and a draw.
Following India on the WTC table are South Africa and New Zealand, both tied with 50 percentage points each, and Australia closely trailing in fourth place.

As for batting, Indian opener Shubman Gill held on to the top spot.
He had displaced Pakistan captain Babar Azam, who continues to be ranked second and is separated by eight rating points.
So far, Gill is the sixth-highest run-scorer for the Men in Blue at this event, scoring 270 in seven matches, including a best of 92 versus Sri Lanka.
On the other hand, star batter Virat Kohli also maintains his fourth spot, being the highest run-scorer for the side in this tournament, collecting 594 in nine outings, including two hundreds and five fifties.
Kohli is followed by skipper Rohit Sharma in the fifth place, Shreyas Iyer is ranked 13th, followed by KL Rahul, who is jointly placed at 17th alongside Steven Smith of Australia.
In the all-rounders' list, Ravindra Jadeja is placed 10th, while the top spot continues to be held by Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan.
