India’s dominance in red-ball cricket continues to be reflected in the latest ICC Men’s Test Player Rankings, with Jasprit Bumrah holding firm as the No. 1 Test bowler, while teammates Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav made impressive climbs following their standout performances in the Ahmedabad Test against the West Indies.
Siraj and Kuldeep Shine in Ahmedabad Triumph
India’s resounding innings-and-140-run victory at the Narendra Modi Stadium gave a major boost to their World Test Championship campaign. Pacer Mohammed Siraj starred with seven wickets across both innings, propelling him three places up to 12th in the ICC Test bowling rankings, his career-best position so far.
Left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav also made significant strides, rising seven spots to joint 21st after picking up four wickets in the same Test. His growing consistency and control have added great depth to India’s spin arsenal.
Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah continued his stronghold at the top, remaining the No. 1-ranked Test bowler in the world. The Indian speedster’s three wickets in the match were enough to maintain his commanding lead in the rankings.
Jadeja, Rahul Climb Among Test Batters and All-Rounders
The latest rankings also brought encouraging news for India’s batting lineup. Ravindra Jadeja, after his unbeaten century in the first Test, jumped six spots to 25th, achieving a career-high rating. His all-round brilliance continues to define India’s success at home and abroad.
