Rishabh Pant dropped three spots, landing in ninth place in the latest rankings for Test batters.
Ravindra Jadeja continues to dominate the Test all-rounder rankings, holding firm at the top. Bangladesh's Mehidy Hasan moved up two places, securing fifth position on this list.
Sri Lankan spinner Prabath Jayasuriya achieved a career-best ranking, rising one spot to share the seventh place in the Test bowling ranks after taking 18 wickets and earning Player of the Series honours against New Zealand. Fellow Sri Lankan, right-hander Kamindu Mendis, also saw a significant rise, moving up five places to 11th with a career-high rating, following his century in the second Test of the New Zealand series.
