West Indies skipper Jason Holder emulated Sir Gary Sobers to become world's No 1 all-rounder in the latest Test rankings released by the ICC.
There was no change in India captain Virat Kohli's position at the top of Test batsmen's list but West Indies skipper Jason Holder emulated Sir Gary Sobers to become world's No 1 all-rounder in the latest Test rankings released by the ICC.
Sir Gary Sobers was the last cricketer from Caribbean islands to top the list in March 1974 and Holder has now emulated him following his 202 not out off 229 balls in West Indies' emphatic win against England.
Holder leapfrogged Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan and India's Ravindra Jadeja to grab the number one spot for the first time in his career. Jadeja who slipped a place in all-rounder's list maintained his fifth position in bowler's list.
Cheteshwar Pujara (3rd) among batsmen and Ravichandran Ashwin (9th) among bowlers also held on to their last week's rankings.
In the batsmen's ranking, Shane Dowrich of West Indies has moved up to a career-best 47th position having scored 81 in the first innings of the match.
Others to players to be benefited include West Indies' Shimron Hetmyer (up 11 places to 40th) among batsmen and Kemar Roach (up five places to 20th) and Roston Chase (up 14 places to 41st) among bowlers.
For England, Ben Stokes has moved up one place to 29th among bowlers.
For Australia, Travis Head has moved up 17 places to 43rd after scoring 84 runs in the Test while fast bowler Pat Cummins's player of the match effort of a 10-wicket match haul has helped him move up one slot to grab a career-best third position among bowlers. His rating points are the highest for an Australian bowler since Ryan Harris tallied 870 in March 2014.
Sri Lanka's Niroshan Dickwella has gained nine slots to take the 37th position among batsmen after scores of 64 and 24, while Suranga Lakmal (up two places to 31st) and Lahiru Kumara (up one place to 39th) have made upward movement among bowlers.
