NEW DELHI: Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has solidified his position at the summit of the ICC Men’s Test Bowling Rankings, maintaining his career-best rating of 908. Despite being sidelined from bowling in the second innings of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy finale due to a back spasm, Bumrah’s earlier efforts were enough to keep him ahead of Australia’s Pat Cummins, who climbed to No.2 following his five-wicket haul in the series decider.
Bumrah’s remarkable consistency has set a new benchmark for Indian bowlers, with his 908 rating points marking the highest-ever ICC ranking for an Indian bowler. His position at the top underscores India’s dominance in recent years, even as the team ceded the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to Australia.
