With the highest rating points of any Indian fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah has ascended to the top of the ICC Test bowling rankings.
Jasprit Bumrah, the interim captain of Team India, reclaimed the top spot in the ICC men’s Test bowling rankings, which were made public on Wednesday. After taking eight wickets in India’s decisive 295-run victory over Australia in the current five-match India vs. Australia 2024 series for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), Bumrah was named the “Player of the Match.”

After his outstanding second innings century in the Perth Test, Bumrah’s colleague and India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal moved up two spots to second place in the ICC Test batting rankings, almost missing out on the top spot.
At the Optus Stadium, Virat Kohli, the former captain of India, scored his 81st international century and 30th Test ton in the second innings, moving him up nine spots to 13th place.
Bumrah has surpassed Josh Hazlewood and Kagiso Rabada to record a career-high 883 rating points, the greatest rating points total ever by an Indian seam bowler, thanks to his five for 30 and three for 42 hauls. The only Indian bowlers to score more points are spinners Ravichandran Ashwin (904) and Ravindra Jadeja (899).

Centurions Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli are among the players who have benefited from India’s overwhelming victory in the first of five Test matches. While Kohli’s undefeated 100 has moved him up nine positions to 13th place after he was outside the top 20 hitters for the first time in a decade, opener Jaiswal has surpassed Harry Brook and Kane Williamson to reach a career-best second position after leading Perth in scoring with 161 in the second innings.

Australia’s Travis Head has returned to the top 10 after scoring a valiant 89 in the second innings. Steve Smith fell to seventh place, his lowest since December 2014, after managing only zero and 17.

In the batting rankings, fast bowler Taskin Ahmed moved up from 67th to 51st place with a second innings haul of six for 64, while Liton Das and Mominul Haque each moved up one spot to 32nd and 47th place, respectively.
