After picking up the 22nd five-wicket haul of his career in the Visakhapatnam Test against England, India’s Ravichandran Ashwin continues to occupy the top spot on the ICC Test Rankings for Bowlers.
The Tamil Nadu off-spinner has a rating of 895 points and is well ahead of second-placed Rangana Herath, who has 867 points. Herath took 13 wickets in a Test against Zimbabwe earlier this month.
South Africa’s Dale Steyn, despite having an injury-ridden year, is the highest-ranked fast bowler in the world, coming in at the third spot. He is closely followed by England’s James Anderson, who himself returned to action last week after missing three Tests due to an injury.
