Twitter Can't Keep Calm as Matt Henry Matches Jasprit Bumrah's Ranking Milestone
Matt Henry has reached the top of the ICC rankings once again. With his brilliant performances for New Zealand in the second Test, he has now climbed to the top of the table with the latest rankings update. But he tied at the top spot with Jasprit Bumrah.

The New Zealand tour of England is making a lot of changes, even in the ICC rankings. New Zealand was able to make a strong comeback in the second Test, which helped the team to level the series. And the main reason why they were able to beat England at their own ground was Matt Henry.
Henry was able to take more than 10 wickets for the team in that match, which further helped them to get the historic win. This win has helped Matt Henry to a great extent when it comes to the ICC rankings. He has received a major push in the Test rankings, as his total points now stand at 870, the same number of points as Jasprit Bumrah.
After a long time, the top spot in the ICC rankings is being tied by two greatest bowlers in this generation. It remains to be seen whether Matt Henry will be able to get the top spot solely to himself, or will it be retained by Jasprit Bumrah.
Here's how Twitter has reacted to the same.
We Hope the Same
But bumrah will soon take control again. If no injury catches him as always

Jasprit Bumrah has been in a dominant form in the Test format, which could help him to take the top spot. But he must not face any injury issue for the same.

Matt Henry has been dominating for New Zealand in the international format. But he has not been able to do much well for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, which somehow justifies the fan anger.
Injury Affected Downfall
Bumrah's rating has fallen a lot, he was at 908 at one stage. If only he was not injured in 5th test of BGT, he could've broken through in to the top 10 in all time bowlers list. With India's test schedule its hard to think he could reach that peak rankings again.

At one time, Jasprit Bumrah had his ranking points at 908 and he could have broken into all-time bowlers if he didn't suffer with an injury in BGT.
