New Delhi witnessed a significant change in the ICC Men’s Test Rankings as Australian pacer Mitchell Starc claimed the top spot, ending Jasprit Bumrah’s reign at the top. This shift occurred after Starc’s exceptional performance against Bangladesh in the recent two-Test series, while Bumrah was absent from India’s ongoing ICC World Test Championship series against Sri Lanka.
The move to the top of the ICC Men’s Test Bowling Rankings came after Starc’s 10-wicket haul in the second Test against Bangladesh, pushing him two places ahead of Bumrah and New Zealand’s Matt Henry. Starc, who has been consistently ranked within the top 10 throughout his 15-year Test career, made history by breaking into the top three recently after impressive performances against England in the Ashes series.
The rise also propelled Australia's Pat Cummins to fourth place, following his six-wicket performance against Bangladesh. Notably, England’s Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue also made significant gains, climbing 15 and 16 places respectively, due to their match-winning contributions against Pakistan in the first Test at Headingley.
