Indian team's star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has once again reached the top in the latest ICC Test rankings. ICC released the new rankings on Wednesday.
Bumrah recently took eight wickets in the first Test match played against Australia in Perth. Bumrah was also named Player of the Match.
Bumrah overtook South Africa's Kagiso Rabada and has reached the first position in the Test bowlers' rankings for the second time in a calendar year. Before the start of the first Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Bumrah was at the third position in the bowlers' rankings after Rabada and Josh Hazlewood.
Rabada, who led South Africa's fast bowling against Sri Lanka, has slipped to second place in the Test rankings. Despite taking five wickets in the first Test match against India, Australia's fast bowler Josh Hazlewood is in third place.

Yashasvi played an innings of 161 runs in the second innings of the first Test against Australia. However, he could not even open the account in the first innings. Yashasvi had a partnership of 201 runs for the first wicket with KL Rahul.
Kohli gained nine places
Star batsman Virat Kohli, who played an unbeaten century in the Perth Test, has also gained nine places and has come to 13th place. Kohli scored an unbeaten 100 in the second innings of the first Test match against Australia. This was his 30th century in Tests. Australia's Marnus Labuschagne has slipped to 14th place due to poor form. Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja have also lost two and four places respectively.
Jadeja remains on top among all-rounders
Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin remain in the top-2 in the Test all-rounders rankings. However, both were not part of the team in the first Test match against Australia. Bangladesh captain Mehdi Hasan has moved up three places to third place after a good performance with bat and ball against the West Indies.
