Travis Head moves ahead in ICC rankings, Yashasvi Jaiswal suffers loss
ICC Test Rankings: The fourth match of the Test series between India and Australia will be played from December 26, but before that the ICC has once again released the Test rankings. However, there has been no change in the top 3 batsmen. But even after this, a lot of ups and downs are visible. While on one hand, Australia’s explosive batsman Travis Head seems to be getting benefit, on the other hand, India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal is at a loss. The big and important thing is that Team India’s star player Rishabh Pant is out of the top 10 after a long time.
Joe Root still the number one batsman in ICC Test rankings
In the new rankings released by the ICC, England’s Joe Root is still the number one Test batsman. His rating is 895. It is another matter that there has been some decline in his rating, but even then it is enough to remain at number one. England’s Harry Brook is at number two with a rating of 876. On the other hand, Kane Williamson of New Zealand is at third place with a rating of 867. That means there has been no change in the top 3 this time.
