India Today
India captain Rohit Sharma and his predecessor Virat Kohli remained static at eighth and 10th place in the latest ICC Test rankings for batters.
India captain Rohit Sharma and his teammates Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah retained their positions in the top-10 of the latest ICC Test Rankings issued on Wednesday.
In the batter's list, Marnus Labuschagne maintained his pole position, while India captain Rohit and his predecessor Kohli remained static at eighth and 10th place respectively. Also, Bangladesh's Liton Das and Sri Lankan veteran Angelo Mathews made valuable gains in the ICC Men's Test Rankings after fine performances in the drawn first match.
Similarly, in bowling, Pat Cummins (901 points) has a 51-point lead over his nearest rival Ravichandran Ashwin, who is followed by countryman Jasprit Bumrah. India's Ravindra Jadeja also remained on top of the all-rounders' table.
With only Sri Lanka and Bangladesh engaged in a WTC series, it was inevitable that players from those two nations earned points.
Wicketkeeper-batter Liton has moved up three places to 17th after notching 88 in Bangladesh's only innings, while Player of the Match Mathews' knock of 199 in the first innings has lifted him five places to 21st among batters in the list led by Australia's Labuschagne.
Mushfiqur Rahim and Tamim Iqbal are the other Bangladesh batters to advance in the latest weekly rankings update after scoring centuries that took Bangladesh to a total of 465.
Mushfiqur, who notched 105, is up to four places to 25th, while Tamim has gained six places to reach 27th position following his innings of 133.
