Ashwin became the world's No. 1 bowler in Test: James Anderson left behind, three Indians in top-10


Posted on 2nd Mar 2023 02:33 pm by rohit kumar

Indian off-spinner R Ashwin has got the advantage of taking 6 wickets in the Delhi Test. He has reached the top of the rankings for bowlers in Tests. Indian spinner Ashwin has left behind England fast bowler James Anderson. The English bowler has had to bear the brunt of not being able to take wickets in the second Test against New Zealand. The ICC released the Test rankings on Wednesday.

 

Jadeja reached 8th

Ashwin has overtaken England bowler James Anderson to take the number one spot. Ashwin now has 864 points. While Anderson is in second place with 859 points, Australia captain Pat Cummins is in third place with 858 points. Apart from Ashwin, Jadeja, and Jasprit Bumrah have gained one place each. Bumrah has moved from fifth to fourth while Ravindra Jadeja has also moved from ninth to eighth.

 

Made number-1 for the first time in 2015

Ashwin became the number-one bowler in Tests for the first time in 2015. Since then, he has been continuously coming in first place. Ashwin, 36, took 6 wickets in the Delhi Test. He contributed to India's victory by taking important wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith. After this, he also dismissed Alex Carey.

 

In the second innings as well, Ashwin took three of Australia's opening five wickets, while Jadeja took the remaining wickets to bundle Australia out for a small score.

 

Chance to be number-1 for two weeks

Ashwin has a chance to retain the number-one spot for the next two weeks. Two matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy are left. The third match is being played in Indore, while the fourth match will be held in Ahmedabad. In such a situation, if Ashwin takes wickets in both Tests, then he will remain on top for the next two weeks. Because number-2 occupied Pat Cummins is not playing Test against India in Indore. At the same time, James Anderson's team England will not play any Test for the next 2 weeks.

 

Three different bowlers have been in the number-one spot in the last three weeks. Before Ashwin, England bowler James Anderson was in first place. At the same time, before Anderson, Australian captain Pat Cummins was in first place for a long time.
