Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill Among Top 10 in ICC Test Rankings

Indian Players Shine in ICC Test Rankings

In the latest ICC Test batting rankings, wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant and captain Shubman Gill are the only Indian players featured in the top 10, holding the eighth and tenth positions, respectively.

Both players have seen a slight drop, with Pant now at 713 rating points and Gill at 697.

Another Indian cricketer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, is currently ranked 13th.

Leading the Test batters chart are England's Harry Brook and Joe Root, followed by Australia's Travis Head, South Africa's Temba Bavuma, and Steve Smith.

In a historic achievement, Afghanistan's captain Rahmat Shah has become the first player from his nation to break into the top 10 of any ICC Test Player Rankings category.

Rahmat surged six places to reach a career-high seventh position after scoring 173 runs in the first match of Afghanistan's two-match series against Zimbabwe in Sharjah.

This innings marked his fifth Test century and second of the year, allowing the 33-year-old to surpass Indian captain Shubman Gill, South Africa's Aiden Markram, and Sri Lanka's Kamindu Mendis to enter the top 10 for the first time.

This accomplishment capped a successful fortnight for Afghanistan, who recently achieved their highest-ever ranking in the ICC Men's ODI Team Rankings, climbing to sixth after winning a tri-series against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.

In the ICC Test bowlers rankings, India's Jasprit Bumrah remains in fifth place, while Australia's Mitchell Starc leads the list. The top five is rounded out by South Africa's Marco Jansen, New Zealand's Matt Henry, and England's Ollie Robinson.

Ravindra Jadeja continues to hold the second position in the Test all-rounders' rankings, with Washington Sundar also making the top 10 at seventh.

The latest ODI rankings have seen some shifts following the initial matches of the India-New Zealand series, with three Indian bowlers improving their standings ahead of the Men's World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.

Axar Patel climbed 23 spots to 21st in the ODI bowlers' list after his impressive performance of 2/28 in the second match of the series in Wellington, while left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh moved up 11 places to 31st following a four-wicket haul in the series opener in Auckland.

Leading the wicket-takers in the series so far is Indian pacer Gurnoor Brar, who has taken seven wickets and has risen from outside the top 100 to 48th in the ODI bowlers' rankings.
