The latest ICC Test rankings have just been released, and many of India’s top batsmen have dropped in their positions—except for KL Rahul. This news comes just a day before the fourth Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Melbourne.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, who recently scored 161 runs in the first Test and reached a best-ever ranking of No. 2, has now fallen to No. 5. Rishabh Pant, who was returning to the Gabba after four years, slipped two spots down to No. 11 after scoring only 9 runs in the third Test. Shubman Gill had a tough match, getting out for just one run, which caused him to drop four places to No. 20.
Big names like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are also struggling. After scoring only 3 runs in the third Test, Kohli dropped down to No. 21. If he does not perform well in Melbourne, it could be his worst ranking finish since 2012! Rohit Sharma has hit a six-year low, dropping to No. 35, as he has only scored 152 runs in 13 innings since September.
Let’s hope these players can turn their performance around quickly!
