The top-ranked Test side in the world, Australia, suffered an innings defeat at the hands of India's Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja last week in Nagpur. Their performances are mirrored in the most recent ICC Test Bowler Rankings, where they have improved significantly.With total numbers of 8/79, Ashwin finished as the game's leading wicket-taker.His 31st five-wicket haul in his remarkable Test career came in Australia's second innings. He climbed the ranks to position two and is now just 21 rating points behind Australia's Pat Cummins, a fast bowler who is widely regarded as the finest bowler in the world for the format.
Jadeja put out a strong all-around performance despite the Nagpur Test being his first international match following a protracted injury layoff, playing well both with the ball and the bat.
Australia was skittled for 177 on the first day of the series opener after choosing to bat first thanks to left-arm spinner Jadeja's 5/47.
Jadeja then contributed 2/34 to Australia's second innings, which came to a conclusion with only 91 runs scored in a single session.
The only century from either side was produced by India Test team captain Rohit Sharma throughout the game, which was also very profitable for him. In the most recent ICC Test rankings for batsmen, he rose to ninth place after scoring 120 in India's 400-all out.
The Australian openers, David Warner and Usman Khawaja, failed to make any progress in either session.
When compared to his opening partner Khawaja, who scored 1 and 5, Warner, who scored 11 runs in the two innings, fell from 14th to 20th.
Axar Patel, an all-rounder for India, not only took a wicket but also hit 84 off 174, the second-highest individual score of the Test. He moved up to the seventh slot in the all-arounder rankings as a result of his performance.
