ICC Test Rankings: Yashasvi Jaiswal surpasses captain Rohit Sharma for career-best spot
Yashasvi Jaiswal continues his merry run as the Indian openermoved three spots higher to attain a career-best 12th spot in the latest batting chart, updated on Wednesday (Feb28). The swashbuckling left-hander, who has been in sublime form in the ongoing five Testseries versus England at home, surpassed Indian captainand his opening partner, Rohit Sharma -- who has moved down to No. 13 in the batting list.
Jaiswal has been in top form in India's current home series versus England. Rohit & Co. recently attained an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series after winning the fourth Test, in Ranchi, by five wickets. Jaiswal has been one of the star performers, being the top run-getter with 655 runs in four games. He struck his maiden double ton in the second Test, in Visakhapatnam, and went past the 200-run mark once again in the following Test in Rajkot. Apart from that, he also has two fifties (80 in the first Test in Hyderabad and 73 in Ranchi) under his belt.
Thus, Jaiswal has reaped rewards for his brilliant run, climbing three spots in the latest ICC Test rankings for batters. In the overall list, New Zealand's Kane Williamson continues to top the chart whereas Virat Kohli -- whowithdrewfrom the first two Tests versus England before eventually pulling away completely to welcome his second child -- remains India's top batter (9th).
