Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah slip in latest ICC Test rankings
Shubman Gill drops to ninth and Jasprit Bumrah to third in ICC Test rankings; Devdutt Padikkal rises five places after twin tons in Sri Lanka.
India captain Shubman Gill slipped two places to ninth among Test batters while Jasprit Bumrah dropped one spot to third among bowlers in the latest ICC Test rankings. Devdutt Padikkal climbed five places to 54th after twin centuries during India's tour of Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka's Sonal Dinusha made the biggest jump, rising 29 places to 25th after scoring resilient centuries in the second Test at Colombo. Ravindra Jadeja retained his number one spot among all-rounders.
The rankings update follows India's two-Test series in Sri Lanka, with the team now preparing for the tour of New Zealand later this year.
CricHubb Take
Padikkal's rise after twin tons in Sri Lanka shows how quickly a domestic performer can re-enter the Test conversation when given a run of matches, a reminder that form in the middle order remains the fastest route back.
