Devdutt Padikkal rises five places in ICC Test rankings after Sri Lanka tons
Devdutt Padikkal gains five ICC ranking spots; Sonal Dinusha jumps 29 places after Colombo centuries.
Devdutt Padikkal moved up five spots in the latest ICC Test rankings after scoring twin centuries during India's tour of Sri Lanka. The RCB batter now sits at 54th among Test batsmen.
Sri Lanka's Sonal Dinusha recorded the largest jump, climbing 29 places to reach 25th after scoring resilient centuries in the second Test at Colombo. Captain Shubman Gill slipped two positions to ninth, while Jasprit Bumrah dropped one place among bowlers.
The rankings update reflects individual performances from the completed two-Test series.
CricHubb Take
Padikkal's rise shows that consistent red-ball volume, not limited-overs exposure, remains the fastest route to climbing the Test rankings for Indian batters outside the established top six.
