Shubman Gill becomes top-ranked Indian Test batter, Jasprit Bumrah retains top spot

The latest ICC Test rankings update on Wednesday, 10 June, has brought major news for Indian cricket fans. India’s Test captain, Shubman Gill, has officially become the country's highest-ranked batter, while pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah comfortably remains the number one bowler in the world.

Shubman Gill has jumped up two places to claim the eighth spot in the global rankings with 743 points. This impressive leap makes him India's top-ranked batter in the



longest format of the game, signaling a new era for the national side's batting line-up.

His rise follows a brilliant performance against Afghanistan in the one-off Test match at Mullanpur earlier this month. Capturing the spotlight as skipper, Gill smashed a superb 126 runs off 177 balls in the first innings. He was one of two centurions in that dominant innings, alongside KL Rahul, setting up a massive total and a clinical victory for the hosts.
