ICC Test Rankings: Jasprit Bumrah equals Indian record with career-high rating

Jasprit Bumrah reached a new career high on the eve of the Boxing Day Test, equalling R Ashwin's record for the joint-highest rating points by an Indian in the International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings for men's Test bowlers. Bumrah consolidated his position at the top of the ICC rankings following his stellar performances in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Australia.

After taking nine wickets in the third Test in Brisbane, Bumrah gained 14 rating points. With a total of 904 points, he matched R



Ashwin's peak tally achieved in December 2016.

Jasprit Bumrah is at the top of the pile with 48 more points than second-placed Kagiso Rabada. Josh Hazlewood, who will miss the last two Tests of the series against India with an injury, is at the No. 3 spot. Australia captain Pat Cummins is in the fourth spot while R Ashwin, who retired after the Brisbane Test, holds the fifth spot.

Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja dropped four spots to No. 10 after an ordinary showing with the ball in Brisbane.
