India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, fast-bowler Mohammed Siraj, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja have made significant progress in the latest ICC Men’s Test Rankings, which were released on Wednesday.

In addition, Siraj, who took five wickets in the first innings in Trinidad, has jumped six places to a career-best 33rd place overall on the list for bowlers. Jadeja has also made gains, moving up to sixth place in the rankings.
Meanwhile, young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has achieved a new career-high of 63 on the list for batters. This significant jump of 10 places is a result of his impressive performances, scoring 57 and 38 in just his second Test appearance in Trinidad.
Turning to Pakistan, left-handed batter Saud Shakeel’s outstanding performances with the bat, including a brilliant double hundred that earned him the Player of the Match award, have propelled him 12 spots up to 15th place. This achievement marks a new career-best rating for him.
