Umesh Yadav Test rankings: The Indian fast bowler has risen to No. 25 in the ICC Test Bowling Rankings.

ICC (International Cricket Council) announced the latest Test rankings after India routed Windies 2-0 in the Test series yesterday. Umesh Yadav, Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant, Roston Chase and Jason Holder, all of whom had a stellar individual series, have jumped up the order in the Test rankings.

Among the batsmen, Indian captain Virat Kohli continued to be at the helm of the rankings. His deputy in Ajinkya Rahane moved up to four points, reaching at No. 18. In the middle of a lean patch, Rahane had scored a match-saving 80 in the first innings.

Shaw, who made his Test debut in the series and ended up being adjourned as the ‘Man of the Series’, reached No. 60 whereas wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant reached No. 62 after scoring 92 twice in the series.

Talking of the visitors, captain Jason Holder jumped up to four spots to enter the Top 10 bowlers rankings. With 766 points, Holder is currently at No. 9, just above New Zealand’s Neil Wagner.

Holder had missed the first Test due to an injury. But continued his sublime form in the second one at Hyderabad. Other than Holder, there wasn’t any other change in the Top 10 list of bowlers.

 

Chase underwent a significant jump which took him to No. 31 from No. 41. Having scored a half-century at Rajkot, Chase scored his first century outside home at Hyderabad.
