After the second Test match played between England and West Indies, ICC has released the new Test rankings. Meanwhile, it was expected that former England captain Joe Root could become the number one batsman in Tests. But he missed it by a small margin.
England's Harry Brook has made a huge leap. His rise has caused some loss to Indian team captain Rohit Sharma. Even after this, three Indian batsmen have managed to maintain their place in the top 10.
New Zealand's Kane Williamson is the number one batsman in the ICC Test rankings
New Zealand's Kane Williamson is still the number one batsman in the ICC Test rankings. At present, his rating is 859. Now it seems that his position is in danger. England's Joe Root has come very close to it. This time too Joe Root is in second place, but his rating has increased. Now his rating has increased to 852. That is, there is a difference of only seven rating points between the first and second number batsmen. If England's Joe Root plays a big innings in the third and final Test against West Indies, then he has a chance to become the number one batsman in Tests.
Harry Brook of England won the long jump
After this, England's Harry Brook has reached the third position directly. He has jumped four places, now his rating has become 771. Harry Brook scored a century in the second Test against West Indies, which seems to be benefiting him in the rankings this time. A total of four batsmen, including Pakistan's Babar Azam, have had to move down one place from their respective positions, while Harry Brook has jumped four places.
Rohit Sharma suffered a loss
Pakistan's Babar Azam has now come to fourth place with a rating of 768 and a loss of one place. New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell also has a rating of 768, so he is also in joint fourth place with Babar. Steve Smith has also lost one place. Now with a rating of 757, he has reached sixth place. Indian captain Rohit Sharma has also moved down one place. His rating is 751 and he is in seventh place.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli remain in the top 10
After this, Yashasvi Jaiswal of India is there. His rating is 740 and he is at the 8th position. This does not have any effect on the ranking. Sri Lanka's Damuth Karunaratne remains at number 9 with a rating of 739. India's Virat Kohli is at the last position in the top 10. His rating is still 737. England's Ben Duckett has also jumped 6 places. He has reached the 16th position directly with a rating of 687. There can be a lot of changes in the ranking even after the third Test between West Indies and England.
