The International Cricket Council (ICC) recently released its latest Test rankings for batsmen and bowlers, with Indian cricket team’s premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah climbing up the list while captain Virat Kohli slipped down a few places. Let’s take a closer look at the latest ICC Test Rankings.

He has demonstrated his skill with the ball and has been able to take wickets consistently.
Virat Kohli Slips
