Rishabh Pant overtakes Virat Kohli:
According to the most recent ICC Test Rankings for Batters, star Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has surpassed his senior teammate Virat Kohli to take sixth spot. With 20 and 99 against New Zealand, Pant, who just returned to Test cricket after a serious automobile accident, displayed his improving form. He moved up three spots in the rankings as a result of these efforts, surpassing Kohli, who is currently tied for seventh position.
Joe Root of England has maintained his lead at the top, which coincides with Pant’s ascent. Even though Yashasvi Jaiswal of India rose to fourth place in the standings, Root, who constantly delivers at the highest level, has a comfortable advantage over his rivals. The fact that Jaiswal, Pant, and Kohli are the only Indian players in the top 10 highlights how well-represented India is even though their rankings have changed.
