<p>The domination of India in the test Cricket in the recent past has been top-notch. India have successfully qualified for both the WTC finals played to date but they had tough days in the finals. Just following the WTC final 2023, India and West Indies were scheduled to play a two-match test series and India won the series 1-0 after one draw.</p>



<p>In the latest updated ICC Test player rankings, there are as many as eight Indian players in the top 10 rankings or each (batting, bowling, and all-rounder) category. Two batsmen in the top 10 batting rankings, three bowlers in the top 10 bowling rankings, and three players in the top 10 All-rounders rankings. The bowling rankings and all-rounders rankings are led by Indian players.</p>

<p>Virat Kohli, India's highest run-scorer in the recently concluded two-match Test Series against South Africa, climbed three spots to take over the number six position from former Pakistan skipper Babar Azam, owing to excellent performances in the Cape Town Test against South Africa.</p>



<p>Along with him, the present Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has also made some massive gains. His aggressive approach at the top in the red ball format is something, the team is getting a lot of benefits with. His recent performances have led him to the 10th spot with 748 rating points.</p>



<p>With 864 rating points next to his name, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is still at the top of the Men's Test Batting Rankings. Although he wasn't active for a while, each time he came into the square, he stole the show. Joe Root of England comes in second with 859 rating points. Despite a lackluster test series against Pakistan, Steve Smith maintained his third-place ranking with 818 rating points.</p>



<p>Coming to bowling rankings, Ravi Ashwin of India has been leading the board for quite a long time now. With 863 rating points to his name, the spin master Ashwin is at the top. Following him is Australian skipper Pat Cummins who replaced Rabada from the place. Jasprit Bumrah is ranked 4th in the latest updated rankings and Jadeja is fifth. </p>

<p>Mohammad Siraj also took a big leap from 30th rank to 17th rank in the test format following his outstanding 6-wicket haul against the Proteas at Cape Town. Josh Hazlewood also climbed up 4 ranks to share the 7th rank with English bowler James Anderson.</p>



<p>As always, there are no big changes in the All-rounders rankings. Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is leading the table with 434 rating points followed by his compatriot Ashwin. There is a big rating points margin between number one and number two as Ashwin stands second with 341 rating points. </p>

<p>Axar Patel shares the fifth spot with an England player Joe Root. Know for his batting, Joe Root had an excellent Ashes 2023 with ball as well resulting in his name being in the All-rounders tally. </p>

<p><strong>(24 Jan) ICC Test Player Rankings:</strong> A major test series for India in the context of the World Test Championship is just around the corner. As India and England are going to be engaged in a five-match red ball series starting 25 January, here we are with the latest updated ICC Test Player Rankings (Rank 1 to 10) before the IND vs ENG Test Series.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#icc-test-player-rankings-rank-1-to-10">ICC Test Player Rankings (Rank 1 to 10)</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#icc-mens-test-batting-standings">ICC Men?s Test Batting Standings</a></li><li class=""><a href="#icc-mens-test-bowling-standings">ICC Men?s Test Bowling Standings</a></li><li class=""><a href="#icc-mens-test-all-rounder-standings">ICC Men?s Test All-Rounder Standings</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div>

<p>India's success in the test format in the recent past has been quite fascinating. They were ICC's Top-ranked test team for a pretty long term before Australia dethroned them a couple of weeks back.</p>



<p>In the most recent ICC Test player rankings, up to eight Indian players are ranked in the top ten in each category (batting, bowling, and all-rounder). The top 10 batting rankings feature two Indian batters, the top 10 bowling rankings feature three Indian bowlers, and the top 10 all-rounder rankings have three Indian players. Indian players lead both the all-rounders and bowling rankings.</p>



<p>India recently played a two-match test series against South Africa and tied the series on an equal score. A near-perfect team game and fabulous individual performances led India to second rank in the World Test Championship points table.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/07/Virat-Kohlis-76th-Test-Ton.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli (IND)" class="wp-image-117129" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Virat Kohli (IND)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Virat Kohli, who scored the most runs for India in the recent two-match Test Series against South Africa, stepped up three slots to replace former Pakistan captain Babar Azam from number six with a 775 rating after a strong performance in the Cape Town Test against South Africa.</p>



<p>Alongside him, the current Indian captain Rohit Sharma has also seen significant success. The team enjoys the advantages immensely from his aggressive style at the top in the red ball format. With 748 rating points, he is now ranked 10th after his latest efforts.</p>



<p>The skipper of New Zealand, Kane Williamson, continues to lead the Men's Test Batting Rankings with 864 rating points next to his name. Despite his prolonged inactivity, he always stole the show when he entered the park.</p>



<p>England's Joe Root is ranked second with 859 rating points. Steve Smith remained in third position with 818 rating points after a dull test series against Pakistan. Babar Azam dropped to eighth place in the most recent ICC Test Batting rankings after a lackluster Australia trip.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/12/Joe-Root-min-1024x689.jpg" alt="Joe Root WTC 2021-2023 Cycle" class="wp-image-100380" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Joe Root, IMG SRC: ECB</figcaption></figure>



<p>When it comes to bowling rankings, India's Ravi Ashwin has been at the top for a long time now. The spin guru Ashwin is ranked first with 863 rating points. Pat Cummins, an Australian captain who took Rabada's spot, follows him. Jasprit Bumrah is placed fourth in the most recent revised rankings, while Jadeja is fifth.</p>



<p>After his incredible six-wicket performance against the Proteas in Cape Town, Mohammad Siraj also made a significant jump in the test format, moving up from 30th to 17th place. Additionally, Josh Hazlewood climbed four spots to tie English bowler James Anderson for seventh place.</p>



<p>England's Ollie Robinson is ranked 6th in the Bowling rankings with 762 ratings. </p>

<p>In the All-rounders ranks, not much has changed. With 434 rating points, Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja sits top of the standings, followed by fellow countryman Ashwin. The difference in rating points between first and second is substantial, with Ashwin coming in second with 341 rating points.</p>



<p>Axar Patel and Joe Root, an England player, are tied for fifth place. Although Joe Root is best recognized for his batting abilities, he also had a great Ashes 2023 with the ball, earning a spot on the all-rounder's list. England's Chris Woakes is ranked 11th in the All-rounder's tally.</p>

ICC Test Player Rankings (Rank 1 to 10) Updated Before IND vs ENG Test Series | Full ICC Men?s Test Player Standings

icc-test-player-rankings-rank-1-to-10-updated-before-ind-vs-eng-test-series-full-icc-mens-test-player-standings

<p>Cricket's governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC) recently revealed the updated ICC Men's Test player rankings on the 11th of September, 2024.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The updated rankings see England's hard hitting batter Harry Brook slip down by seven positions, while India's three batters have risen in the rankings by one-spot each.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Joe Root, the premier batter of the Three Lions, continues to reign supreme at the top of ICC?s Test batting rankings despite scoring just 13 and 12 runs in the third test match at the Oval against Sri Lanka, though his rating points have seen a decrease from 922 to 899, which provides an opportunity to New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson and Aussie batter Steve Smith to close down the gap between themselves and Root.</p>



<p>Similarly, another English batter, Harry Brook, has dropped in the batting rankings by seven spots to the 12th position after managing to score just 19 and three-runs in the third test against the Sri Lankans.</p>



<p>Ollie Pope?s inning of 154 runs has helped him make a jump of seven places to joint 27th spot along with Angelo Mathews while young sensation Jamie Smith moved by six places to the 30th rank after scoring a quick fifty in the second inning.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot_2024-09-11-15-24-06-16_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12-537x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-146973" style="width:637px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">ICC Test Batting Rankings (Image: ICC)</figcaption></figure>



<p>However, England batters were not the only ones who made gains in the rankings. Six batters of Sri-Lanka have made massive gains in ICC?s recently updated Test batting rankings thanks to their historic eight-wicket victory over England in the third &amp; final Test-Match at the Oval.</p>



<p>The Island Nation secured their first away test victory in more-than-a-decade in the third-test match against the Three Lions, with captain Dhananjaya-de-Silva, opener Pathum Nissanka and middle order batter Kamindu Mendis starring with the bat.</p>



<p>Skipper De Silva was the top scorer for his side having played a crucial knock of 69 runs in the first inning, which allowed him to achieve his Test career?s best ranking batting wise, as he jumped from 16th to the 13th rank.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed alignfull is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/ICC/status/1833920980382515219
</div></figure>



<p>Pathum Nissanka and Kamindu Mendis on the other hand, also achieved their Test career?s highest ranks, with the left handed batter rising by six spots to the 19th place thanks to his fifty against England while Nissanka?s fantastic knocks of 64 and 127* runs helped him to make a huge jump of 42 places to the 39th place.</p>



<p>Talking about the Indian players, despite not playing a test match since March of this year, the trio of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal have seen improvisations in their test rankings.</p>



<p>The Indian captain has moved to the fifth position, while his opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal is now sitting at the sixth place of ICC?s Test batting-rankings. Kohli, on the other hand, has occupied the seventh position.</p>
