Ravindra Jadeja has overtaken R Ashwin at the top of the ICC Test rankings for bowlers, after taking 9 wickets against Australia in the 3rd Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Jadeja out-bowled his closest competitor Ashwin in the first innings this season a sign that he is becoming a threat even without the pitch helping him too much.
Meanwhile, Sri Lankan cricketer Rangana Herath who captained the Sri Lankan team to home victories against West Indies and Australia in the past few months was ranked world’s third best test bowler in the ICC rankings.
