The Test bowling rankings have changed significantly as a result of India’s victory over Bangladesh in the two-game Test series. Star Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has supplanted Ravichandran Ashwin as the world’s best Test bowler, thanks to his outstanding exploits.

With 870 points at the moment, Jasprit Bumrah leads Ashwin, who now has 869 points.

Thanks to his eleven wickets in the Bangladesh series, Bumrah has risen to the top of the Test bowling rankings for the second time.

It is noteworthy that Ashwin, who claimed five wickets in the Kanpur Test, was also at his best during the series. Shakib Al Hasan, on the other side, has moved up five places to take 28th place, while Mehidy Hasan Miraz of Bangladesh has advanced four spaces to take 18th place.

In addition, Prabath Jayasuriya of Sri Lanka is currently ranked seventh following his recent exploits against New Zealand. India, captained by Rohit Sharma, will look to maintain its top spot in the WTC standings by putting on a strong performance against New Zealand in the upcoming Test match.
