India's spearhead pacer Jasprit Bumrah has solidified his top spot in the ICC Men's Test Bowling Rankings after his phenomenal performance in Brisbane. Bumrah's nine-wicket haul for 94 runs in the rain-marred third Test against Australia earned him 14 additional rating points, taking his total to a career-high 904. With his rating, Bumrah equalled the record set by former spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in December 2016, and became the joint highest-rated Indian Test bowler in ICC history. With one more Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to be played in Melbourne, Bumrah has the chance to surpass Ashwin's record.
South Africa's Kagiso Rabada and Australia's Josh Hazlewood are currently ranked second and third, respectively, but trail Bumrah significantly in points.
Australia's Travis Head continued his remarkable run in the ongoing series against India, climbing to fourth place in the Men's Test Batting Rankings. His heroic knock of 152 at the Gabba after his ton in Adelaide has taken him one spot above to number four with 825 points.
Head's compatriot Steve Smith's century in the third Test gets him into the top ten fray once again. On the other hand, Indian opener KL Rahul's resilient display in India's first innings takes him ten places above to 40th.
