Marco Jansen created history in ICC rankings
Although there have not been many changes in the new rankings released by the ICC, but South Africa’s ace player Marco Jansen has done wonders this time. Be it bowling or all-rounders. His magic can be seen at both the places. In the ranking of all-rounders, Marco Jansen has taken a huge leap and has directly become second.
Marco Jansen got huge benefits
In the new rankings released by the ICC, if we talk about bowlers in Tests, India’s Jasprit Bumrah is still at number one. His rating is currently at 883. There has been no change in the ranking of the top 4 bowlers. If we talk about Marco Jansen, he has now jumped 19 places and reached the ninth position. His rating has now increased to 774. This is Jansen’s all-time high ranking. In the match played against Sri Lanka, Jansen bowled brilliantly and led his team to victory.
Jansen shines in the ranking of all-rounders too
Meanwhile, if we talk about the rating of Test all-rounders, India’s Ravindra Jadeja is still at number one. His rating at present is 423. But South Africa’s Marco Jansen has reached the second position, surpassing Ravichandran Ashwin. Here he has jumped 10 places. At present his rating is 291, which is all time high. That means whether it is bowling or the list of all-rounders. Only Jansen’s glory is visible everywhere.

Marco Jansen took seven wickets for only 13 runs in the first innings of the first Test match played against Sri Lanka.
