India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is back on top of the ICC Test bowling rankings after a splendid performance against Bangladesh in the 2-match Test series last month.
Bumrah replaces Ashwin at the top
Bumrah replaces his compatriot Ravichandran Ashwin in the rankings, who also had a decent outing against the Bangla Tigers in the two matches. Both bowlers picked up 11 wickets in the 2 matches against Bangladesh, with Ashwin also receiving the player of the series award as his contributions with the bat added to his exploits.
