India captain Virat Kohli has moved up a spot to be fifth in the latest ICC Test rankings for batsmen while teammate Ravindra Jadeja has slipped a place to be third in the bowlers’ standings.<\/p>\n
Kohli has edged Warner to take fifth position after completing his 50th international century in the first match of a three-Test series against Sri Lanka in Kolkata.<\/p>\n
Kohli, who is top-ranked in both ODIs and T20Is, knocked up a fine 104 not out on day five before the game ended in a draw.<\/p>\n
Opener Shikhar Dhawan has gained two places to reach 28th position while among India’s bowlers, pace bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar has gained eight places to reach a career-best 29th position and Mohammad Shami has moved up one slot to 18th position.<\/p>\n
Jadeja, who started the Sri Lanka series with the opportunity to reclaim the top bowling and all-rounder rankings, could not work towards the objective in Kolkata as all Sri Lanka batsmen fell to pace bowlers.<\/p>\n
Jadeja has slipped to third position among bowlers and also lost 20 points in the rankings for all-rounders, but still has a lot to look forward to in the remaining matches.<\/p>\n
For Sri Lanka, Niroshan Dickwella has gained three slots to reach 37th position among batsmen while off-spinner Dilruwan Perera has moved up three places to reach 22nd position among bowlers.<\/p>\n
In the team rankings, fifth-placed Australia will overtake England if they win the Ashes by a margin of 2\u20130 or better and could even go up to third position if they can complete a 5\u20130 series washout. In the event of being blanked out, England will slip down to 98 points.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, third-placed England will go up to 110 points with a 5\u20130 win, in which case Australia will slip to 91 points and could be down to the sixth position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
