Jasprit Bumrah Overtakes Ravichandran Ashwin
In a significant development in the ICC Test rankings, India’s premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has reclaimed the top spot, overtaking his teammate Ravichandran Ashwin. Bumrah’s stellar performance in India’s recent Test match victory over Bangladesh in Kanpur, where he took six wickets, pushed his ICC rating to 870 points, edging out Ashwin by just a single point.
This marks the second time Bumrah has achieved the No. 1 bowler ranking in Tests. Ashwin, who also had a commendable showing in the same match with five wickets, is just behind him in the rankings. Despite losing his top spot, Ashwin celebrated Bumrah’s achievement with an Instagram post saying, “You belong here,” expressing his support and sportsmanship.
