Losing to Yashasvi Jaiswal, the batsman challenges Joe Root in ICC rankings

Published On: December 4, 2024 2:41 pm

The ICC rankings have reversed again. Although the Indian team has not played any match since the last ranking, Yashasvi Jaiswal had to suffer losses even after this ranking. Although Joe Root still holds the No. 1 spot, he now seems to be facing a challenge from his own partner. Meanwhile, the most important thing is that South Africa’s Temba Bavuma enters the top ten.

Former England captain Joe Root remains number one in the new Test rankings released by the ICC. His current rating is 895. He didn’t play well in the last game, so his rating dropped. Meanwhile, England’s Harry Brooke has now reached second place. He jumped two spots in the rankings. His current rating has reached 854. This means that Harry is now getting closer to Joe Root and if he moves away from him in the next few weeks, it won’t be a big deal. The former New Zealand captain remains at number three as before. His rating is 830.

Yashasvi Jaiswal lost two places

India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had finished second last week, had to drop. His rating is the same as before at 825, but now he’s in fourth place. Jaiswal suffered losses due to Harry Brooke. However, he will get a chance to play a big innings in the second match of the Australia series and once again occupy the same position as before.

Temba Bavuma works wonders, manages to reach 10th place

Meanwhile, if we talk about these four batsmen, New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell still ranks fifth with a rating of 753. India’s Rishabh Pant remains in sixth place with a rating of 736. Sri Lanka’s Kamendu Mendis moved up two places. His rating is now 733. Australia’s Steve Smith dropped another spot to eighth with 726 points. Pakistan’s Saud Shakeel dropped one spot to ninth. Meanwhile, South Africa’s Test captain Temba Bavuma worked wonders. This time his ratings jumped 14 spots. He is currently ranked tenth with a rating of 715.
