3. Test bowler rankings

Ravichandran Ashwin has been at the top of the rankings in Test cricket in the last few months. Unlike other Indian cricketers, the challenge to remain at the top in Test cricket is not easy, as the format has some terrific bowlers in the world like Kagiso Rabada, Pat Cummins, Shaheen Afridi, Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Nathan Lyon, James Anderson, Kyle Jamieson and many others. There are some Indian bowlers like Mohammed Shami, Ravindra Jadeja, and Jasprit Bumrah, who themselves pose a tough challenge for Ashwin.

Despite the difficulty in sustaining the rankings at the top, the star bowler has been able to remain at the top in the last few months. After the conclusion of the Test series against Australia and West Indies, Ashwin returned to the top spot in the bowlers’ rankings in the longest format of the game. Among the active bowlers, Ashwin has the second most wickets for a bowler in the longest format of the game, which is a sensational feat without a doubt.
