Pakistan’s poor performances have caused the players to take a hit in the latest ICC Test rankings, as no one could make a benchmark in the top ten. According to the details, International Cricket Council (ICC) has released the new rankings on Wednesday, in which no Pakistani player could secure a place.
Indian Captain Virat Kohli toppled Steve Smith to become the No. 1 Test batsman again in the list of ICC Test Player Rankings. Smith’s team-mate David Warner has moved up 12 places to the fifth position after his unbeaten 335 in the second Test against Pakistan. Marnus Labuschagne, who started the year at 110, has broken in the top 10 for the first time.
Ajinkya Rahane dropping one place to sixth and Cheteshwar Pujara taking the fourth spot makes it three Indian batsmen in top 10 of the ICC batting rankings.
England captain Joe Root also returned to the top 10 after slamming a double hundred against New Zealand in Hamilton. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s talented batsman Babar Azam gained two spots to be placed 13th after scoring a hundred against Australia in Gabba and 97 in Adelaide. Among the bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah is the highest-placed Indian at the fifth position. Off-spinner R. Ashwin remained static at ninth.
