ICC rankings have exposed Team India’s archers, you too will feel ashamed after seeing Rohit, Kohli and Pant.
Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant
ICC Test Rankings for Indian Batter: The Test rankings released by the ICC on the very first day of the year 2025 are very embarrassing. Except for a few batsmen of Team India, all of them are slipping down. The special thing is that only one Indian batsman has been able to make his place in the top 10. Rest of the veteran players have gone down from last time’s ranking also.
Only one Indian batsman in top 10 in Test rankings
Yashasvi Jaiswal is the only batsman who has been successful in saving his honour. Thanks to his fighting innings played in the fourth Test against Australia, he has now jumped one place to number 4. No other batsman is in the top 10. Rishabh Pant, who was already out of the top 10 list, has now dropped one more place and has now reached number 12 with a rating of 701. Shubman Gill did not play the last match, hence he is at number 20 like before.
The condition of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul is bad.
Virat Kohli, who is considered the best batsman in the world even today, seems to be on a race to the bottom. They are showing no signs of stopping. He has now reached No. 24 with a rating of 633. He has lost three places compared to last time. Captain Rohit Sharma is, in a way, intent on breaking things. He has now slipped five places to No. 40. Whereas KL Rahul has lost one place this time, that is, now he has reached number 41.
It will be a difficult task to return to the top 10
If Virat Kohli plays some good innings then there is a possibility of his return to the top 10, but captain Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul have gone into such an abyss that now there is a high possibility that they will be able to come back to the top 10. It is less, because one or two big innings will not suffice. At present, Indian batsmen have one more test against Australia, in which they can improve their ranking and rating by performing better, but looking at the moment, this task seems quite difficult.
