There is once again a reversal in the ICC rankings. Although Team India has not played any match since the last ranking, but even after this Yashasvi Jaiswal has to suffer loss. Even though Joe Root still holds the number one position, now he seems to be facing a challenge from his own partner. Meanwhile, the big thing is that South Africa's Temba Bavuma has entered the top 10.
Former England captain Joe Root still remains at number one in the new Test rankings released by ICC. His rating is currently 895. He was not able to play well in the last match, hence his rating has decreased. Meanwhile, England's Harry Brook has now reached second position. He has made a huge jump of two places. He has now achieved a rating of 854. This means that Harry is now getting closer to Joe Root and it is not a big deal, if he leaves him behind in the coming few weeks. The former New Zealand captain still remains at number 3 as before. His rating is 830.
Yashasvi Jaiswal lost two places
India's Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had reached second place just last week, has now had to come down. His rating is the same as 825, which was earlier, but now he has reached number four. Jaiswal has suffered losses because of Harry Brook. However, he will have a chance to play a big innings in the second match of the Australia series and again occupy the same position where he was earlier.
Temba Bavuma did wonders, managed to reach tenth place
Meanwhile, if we talk about these top 4 batsmen, then New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell remains at number 5 as before with a rating of 753. India's Rishabh Pant is still at number 6 with a rating of 736. Sri Lanka's Kamendu Mendis has gained two places. His rating is now 733. Australia's Steve Smith has dropped another place, slipping to No. 8 with a rating of 726. Pakistan's Saud Shakeel has now slipped one place to number 9. Meanwhile, South Africa's Test captain Temba Bavuma has done wonders. This time he has got a jump of 14 places in the ratings. He has now occupied the number 10 position with a rating of 715.
