Ravichandran Ashwin leapfrogs James Anderson to become world no.1 Test bowler

India Today  

Ravichandran Ashwin has replaced James Anderson to become the world number one Test bowler in the ICC rankings. Ashwin rose to the top spot after taking six wickets during India's second Test victory over Australia in Delhi, which ensured India retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, while Anderson slipped to No.2 after England lost to New Zealand by one run in Wellington. The 36-year-old Ashwin, who first claimed the No.1 rank in 2015, has an opportunity to extend his stay at the top spot in India's remaining two Tests in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Meanwhile, India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who has been out of action since August 2022 due to a back issue, rose to number four and Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi moved up one place to take No.
