England’s Harry Brook caused a stir in the rankings, Rohit Sharma suffered a loss
ICC Test Rankings Update: After the second Test match played between England and West Indies, the new Test rankings have been released by the ICC. Meanwhile, it was expected that former England captain Joe Root could become the number one Test batsman. But he missed it by a small margin. But what definitely happened was that England’s Harry Brook made a huge leap. Due to his coming ahead, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma has suffered a slight loss. However, even after this, three Indian batsmen have been successful in retaining their place in the top 10.
New Zealand’s Kane Williamson becomes number one batsman in ICC Test rankings
New Zealand’s Kane Williamson is still the number one batsman in the ICC Test rankings. His rating is currently 859. However, now his position seems to be in danger. England’s Joe Root has come very close to him. Joe Root is still at number two this time, but his rating has increased. Now his rating has increased to 852. That means there is only a difference of seven rating points between the first and second ranked batsmen. If England’s Joe Root plays a big innings in the third and final Test against West Indies, then he has a chance to become the number one batsman in Tests.
England’s Harry Brook made a big jump, reached number three directly
After this, England’s Harry Brook has jumped straight to number three. He has jumped four places at once, now his rating has increased to 771. Harry Brook scored a century in the second Test against West Indies, which is benefiting him in this time’s ranking. Due to Harry Brook jumping four places, a total of four batsmen including Pakistan’s Babar Azam have had to come down one place from their respective positions.
Babar Azam, Daryl Mitchell, Rohit Sharma and Steve Smith suffer minor losses
Pakistan’s Babar Azam has now moved to number 4 with a rating of 768 and a loss of one place. New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell also has a rating of 768, so he is also jointly at number four with Babar. Steve Smith has also lost one place. Now with a rating of 757, he has reached number 6. India’s captain Rohit Sharma has also come down one place. His rating is 751 and he has moved to number seven.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli remain in top 10
After this comes Yashasvi Jaiswal of India. His rating is 740 and he is at number 8. There is no impact on his ranking. Sri Lanka’s Damuth Karunaratne remains at number 9 with a rating of 739. India’s Virat Kohli is at the last position in the top 10. His rating is 737 as before. England’s Ben Dockett has also got a jump of 6 places. He has reached number 16 directly with a rating of 687. There can be a lot of changes in the ranking after the third Test between West Indies and England.
