Australian quick Mitchell Starc ended Jasprit Bumrah’s reign at the top of the Test rankings for bowlers by replacing him to claim the number one position for the first time in his career. Starc produced a match-winning 10-wicket haul against Bangladesh in the recently concluded second Test in Mackay, and helped the hosts win the match inside two days. Starc’s record-breaking outing came days after Bangladesh shocked Australia for their first Test win Down Under and second overall against the mighty Aussies. While Starc attained his career-best ratings (872) and jumped two places to number one, India’s Bumrah slipped one place to sit at two. Australian Test captain Pat Cummins too gained a place to conquer the fourth spot, and off-spin veteran Nathan Lyon entered the top ten by jumping two places. Cummins returned with three-wicket hauls in both innings, while Lyon, who grabbed just one wicket across two innings in the series opener, picked up three in the second innings.&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/joe-root-brydon-carse-handcuff-row-england-vs-pakistan-lords-test-1787673950513">England captain Root ‘hacked off’ with Carse’s handcuff row ahead of Lord’s Test against Pakistan</a> &nbsp;Starc, however, was the hero of the game for the Aussies. He made headlines for picking up a five-for in just 22 balls early on day one, including dismissing Bangladesh opener Shadman Islam on a first-ball duck.

Mitchell Starc has overtaken Jasprit Bumrah to become the new No. 1 Test bowler in the ICC rankings. Starc achieved the top spot for the first time following a 10-wicket masterclass against Bangladesh.
