NEW DELHI: Temba Bavuma<\/a> has been rewarded for his stellar performances of 70 and 113 in the first Test against Sri Lanka, as the South Africa skipper climbed 14 spots to achieve a career-high 10th place in the ICC Test rankings. This surge comes after South Africa’s commanding 233-run victory.
Bavuma’s career-best ranking saw him surpass India’s star batter Virat Kohli<\/a>, who slipped to 14th place despite his match-winning century against Australia in Perth.
England batter Joe Root continues to be at the top of the rankings with 895 rating points followed by compatriot Harry Brook<\/a>, who has 854 points.
Brook rose to second spot after his outstanding 171 in the first innings of England’s eight-wicket win over New Zealand in Christchurch, marking his seventh Test century.
Brook’s rise pushed India’s young star Yashasvi Jaiswal<\/a> down to fourth in the updated rankings.
The ICC rankings for Test bowlers and all-rounders saw significant changes following Marco Jansen‘s stellar performance in the first Test.
Jansen, named Player of the Match, claimed 11 wickets, including a remarkable 7\/13 in the first innings, earning career-high ratings in both categories.
The towering left-arm pacer leapt 19 places to secure ninth on the bowler rankings and climbed 10 spots to reach second among all-rounders. While India’s Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja continue to lead the respective categories.<\/p>\n
