Yashasvi Jaiswal created history in ICC rankings
Indian team’s star batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal has done wonders in the ICC rankings this time. Jaiswal has now achieved what he could not reach in his short cricket career. Although he has not yet reached number one, he has definitely aimed towards it. Meanwhile, other batsmen have suffered some losses. Many changes are being seen in the test rankings this time.
England’s Joe Root still remains the number one batsman in the Test rankings released by the ICC. His rating is 903. If we talk about Yashasvi Jaiswal, he has now captured the second position. Even though his bat did not work in the first innings of the first Test played against Australia, he played a strong inning of 161 runs in the second innings. Now they seem to be getting the benefits of this. Jaiswal now has 825 rating. Which is his all-time high ranking. They had not reached here before.
Loss to Kane Williamson and Harry Brook
With Yashasvi Jaiswal moving forward, New Zealand’s Kane Williamson has lost one place. He has now moved straight from second to third place with a rating of 804. Talking about England’s Harry Brook, he has slipped from third to fourth position. His rating is 778. New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell has gained two places and has managed to reach number one with a rating of 743.
Rishabh Pant remains at number six
India’s Rishabh Pant was at number 6 earlier also and is still there. His rating is 736. Steve Smith has had to bear the brunt of his poor performance in the first Test against India. They have dropped two places. His rating is 726. Saud Shakeel of Pakistan has reached number 8 with a rating of 724. He has gained one place. Sri Lanka’s Kamendu Mendis has also moved up to number 9 with a gain of two places. His rating is 716.
Travis Head’s entry in top 10
Travis Head’s bat is also not performing as well as expected, but he played well in the Perth Test against India and he has benefited from it. He has now reached number 10 with a rating of 713. Earlier he was out of the top 10, but now he has entered it. Now, it will be interesting to see how the performance of all the players included in this top 10 is in the India vs Australia second test.
