ICC Test rankings: Gill, Pant drop a place as Rahmat Shah makes historic top-10 entry

New Delhi, Nov 11 (UNI) India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant and captain Shubman Gill remain the only Indian players in the top 10 of the latest ICC Test batting rankings, although both have slipped one place in the updated list.
Pant is now eighth with 713 rating points, while Gill has dropped to 10th with 697 points. Another India batter, Yashasvi Jaiswal, occupies the 13th position.
England's Harry Brook and Joe Root continue to lead the batting charts, with Australia's Travis Head, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma and Steve Smith completing the top five.
The latest rankings have also brought a significant milestone for Afghanistan, with captain Rahmat Shah becoming the first player from the country to break into the top 10 of any category in the ICC Test rankings.
Rahmat has jumped six places to a career-best seventh among Test batters after scoring 173 in the opening match of Afghanistan's two-Test series against Zimbabwe in Sharjah. The 33-year-old's fifth Test century, and second this year, has taken him past Gill, South Africa's Aiden Markram and Sri Lanka's Kamindu Mendis.
The achievement adds to an impressive run for Afghanistan, who earlier this month climbed to their highest-ever sixth position in the ICC men's ODI team rankings following their tri-series triumph over Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.
Among Test bowlers, India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has retained fifth place. Australia's Mitchell Starc continues to lead the standings, followed by South Africa's Marco Jansen, New Zealand's Matt Henry and England's Ollie Robinson.
In the Test all-rounders' rankings, Ravindra Jadeja remains second behind Jansen, while Washington Sundar is placed seventh to give India two representatives in the top 10.
The latest ODI rankings have also reflected performances from the ongoing India-New Zealand series, with three Indian bowlers making notable progress ahead of the 2027 World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
Axar Patel has made the biggest jump, climbing 23 places to 21st in the ODI bowling rankings after returning figures of 2/28 in the second match in Wellington. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh has moved up 11 places to 31st following his four-wicket haul in the series opener in Auckland.
Gurnoor Brar, meanwhile, has broken into the top 50 after an impressive start to the series. With seven wickets, he is currently the leading wicket-taker and has surged from outside the top 100 to 48th in the latest ODI bowling rankings.
