There is turmoil again in ICC rankings, Rishabh Pant took a huge leap, this Indian player suffered a huge loss.
ICC Test Rankings: After the crushing defeat in the three-Test series against New Zealand, ICC has released the Test rankings once again. Meanwhile, Indian team’s wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has got a slight advantage, while Yashasvi Jaiswal has been at a slight loss. However, if we talk about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, both these star batsmen have now gone far away from the top 10. His comeback now seems very difficult.
Joe Root is still the number one batsman in Test, Kane Williamson is at number two
England’s Joe Root still occupies the number one position in the Test rankings released by ICC. His rating is 903. At present there is no challenge before him. Because Kane Williamson is at number two, his rating is 804. That means the difference between the first and second batsman is quite big, which will not be easy to overcome. After this, Harry Brook of England has gained one place. He has now come at number three with a rating of 778.
Yashasvi Jaiswal lost one place, Pant jumped
Yashasvi Jaiswal could not do anything special in the last test against New Zealand, which is why he has now slipped one place down to number 4, his rating is now 777. Steve Smith still remains at number 5 with a rating of 757. Rishabh Pant had performed better than other batsmen in the Mumbai Test, he seems to be getting the benefit of this in the rankings this time. He has now jumped five places to reach number 6. His rating has become 750. Apart from these two, no batsman from India has been able to make his place in the top 10.
The condition of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma is bad.
If we talk about Virat Kohli, this time he has gone down a total of 8 places. His rating has dropped to 655 and he is at number 22. The result of continuous poor play is visible like this. If we talk about Rohit Sharma, he has gone straight to number 26. He has lost two places. His rating at present is 629. This means that now it will be very difficult for both of them to return to the top 10. Only at least two big innings can make this happen.
