India's veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took up the numero uno spot in ICC Rankings for Test bowlers, surpassing England pacer James Anderson. Ashwin, who bagged a total of 25 wickets in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, sits atop with 869 rating points while Anderson is second, 10 rating points behind the Indian off-spinner. Former India captain Virat Kohli also made big gains in the Test rankings for batters, jumping a total of seven places to find himself at the 13th spot in the charts.
Ashwin and Jadeja were the chief orchestrators for India in the series, with the former taking 25 wickets and the latter 22. For some reason, however, Jadeja dropped a spot from 8th to 9th in the Test bowlers' rankings.
There were promotions for Australian cricketers too in the latest rankings update. Openng batter Usman Khawaja gained two places to climb up to seventh spot on the Test batter rankings following a series-high 333 runs. All-rounder Cameron Green, who only featured in the Ahmedabad Test, jumped a total of 11 places to be placed 26th.
