Gill Achieves Career-best Ranking In Tests; Brook Becomes New Top-ranked Batter
Test Batting Rankings: India captain Shubman Gill has achieved a career-best position in ICC Men’s Test Batting Rankings, even as England batter Harry Brook has dethroned Joe Root to be the new top-ranked batter in the longer format.
Gill, whose knocks of 269 and 161 made him only the second player in history to register scores of above 150 in both innings of a Test match and claim the second highest aggregate ever by a batter in Tests with 430 runs, has jumped 15 places to be at a career-best sixth position.
Gill’s previous best was 14th position which he reached in September last year and started the ongoing series ranked 23rd. Brook, meanwhile, rises to top of the Test batters’ rankings following him hitting a magnificent 158 in the first innings of the second Test in Birmingham.
