ICC Test Rankings: Jaiswal climbs, Bumrah loses top Spot

Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal made gains in the ICC Test batsmen's rankings, moving up one spot to third place. No other Indian players are in the top ten. England's Joe Root remains at the summit. Despite not playing in the series against India, Kane Williamson holds the second spot. Rishabh Pant dropped five places to 11th. While he scored a century in the first Test against New Zealand, he failed to shine in the second Test in Pune, which led to his decline.
