Left-handed batters Rishabh Pant and Ben Duckett achieved new career-high rating in the latest ICC Men’s Test Batter Rankings on Wednesday.
Pant, who became only the second wicketkeeper to hit two hundreds in the same match during the first Test between England and India in Leeds, climbed one spot to move to seventh overall on the list for Test batters.
Meanwhile, Duckett, who was adjudged Player-of-the-Match for his scores of 62 and 149 in England’s five-wicke victory in Leeds, jumped up five places to eighth in the rankings. Duckett’s teammates Ollie Pope (up three spots to 19th) and Jamie Smith (up eighth places to 27th) also made significant gains in the weekly update to the rankings.
India skipper Shubman Gill moved up five places to sit in the 20th spot following his century in the first innings.
Former England skipper Joe Root remained the top-ranked Test batter in the world, closely followed by teammate Harry Brook.
In the latest rankings for Test bowlers, India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah continued to exert his dominance as the top-ranked bowler in the format. England skipper Ben Stokes, who nabbed five wickets during the first Test, gained three places to move to fifth on the list for the best Test all-rounders in the world.
