ICC Rankings: Jasprit Bumrah has reclaimed his position as the No. 1 Test bowler in the world following an impressive match haul of six wickets against Bangladesh in Kanpur.

This achievement marks his second stint at the top, as he replaces his India teammate R Ashwin, who was the Player of the Series against Bangladesh.

Further, young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal moved to third spot after completing just 11 tests.

Jasprit Bumrah's Stellar Performance in Kanpur against Bangladesh

Bumrah's exceptional performance, which included three wickets in each innings, contributed to India's seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh. With a rating of 870 points, Jasprit Bumrah is just a single point ahead of Ashwin, who also made significant contributions with five wickets in the match. Bumrah’s ascent is particularly noteworthy as he becomes the first Indian fast bowler to hold the No. 1 spot in the ICC Test rankings, a feat he first achieved in February 2023.

Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's Rapid Ascent

In addition to Bumrah's success, young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has made a remarkable leap in the Test batting rankings. After being named Player of the Match for his performances of 72 and 51, Jaiswal surged to third place—his highest ranking yet—after just 11 Test matches.

World Test Championship Implications

India's strong performance against Bangladesh not only solidified Bumrah's ranking but also positioned the team favorably in the World Test Championship standings. The victory places India in a strong position to reach next year’s ICC World Test Championship final for the third consecutive time.
