ICC Ranking: Ravichandran Ashwin Closes the Gap to the Top Position by Two Points, while Ravindra Jadeja Breaks Into the Top Ten

 In the ICC Rating for Test match bowlers, Team India's Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja both experienced significant increases. Only a few points behind the newly ranked No. 1 bowler from England, James Anderson, Ashwin shot up to No. 2. After seven wickets in the second innings against Australia, Jadeja, the second Test's "Player of the Match," quickly climbed back into the top 10 of the bowlers' rankings.

Pat Cummins, the captain of Australia, who has held the position since February 2019, is replaced by Anderson. Anderson first rose to the top spot in May 2016 and remained there until Kagiso Rabada of South Africa overtook him in November 2018. Since Australia's legendary Clarrie Grimmett in 1936, Anderson is the fifth-oldest bowler in Test history and the oldest bowler to hold the top spot.

Ashwin currently has 864 rating points, while Anderson presently has 866. Cummins, the captain of Australia, dropped to third place with 858 points.

Jadeja, an all-rounder for India, has moved up seven spots to ninth after taking ten wickets in the second Test in Delhi. This is the first time he has appeared in the top 10 since September 2019. The other India spinner Axar Patel's late-order heroics have propelled him into the top five for all-rounders, while his spin colleague Ashwin has gone up to second position.
