Team India's star bowler Jasprit Bumrah has once again become the world's number 1 Test bowler. In the latest ICC Test rankings released on Wednesday, Jasprit Bumrah defeated two bowlers and achieved the number 1 rank. Earlier, South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada was on top. Josh Hazlewood was in second place but after his amazing performance in Perth, Bumrah defeated both of them and took the crown of being the number 1 bowler.

Bumrah became number 1

In the latest ICC Test rankings, Jasprit Bumrah is at number 1 with 883 rating points. South Africa's Rabad is at second place with 872 rating points and Josh Hazlewood is at third place with 860 rating points. Off-spinner R Ashwin is at fourth position. Jadeja is at 7th position. On October 30, Jasprit Bumrah was stripped of his number 1 ranking. Rabada had achieved that position in his place. But within 27 days, Bumrah has once again got his crown.

It is difficult to beat Bumrah

Looking at the form in which Bumrah is seen in the Test series against Australia, it seems that it is not only difficult but impossible to remove this player from the number 1 position. In the Perth Test, Bumrah took a total of 8 wickets, out of which he took 5 wickets in the first innings. Team India, which was bundled out for just 150 in Perth, made a comeback only on the strength of Bumrah.

This right-handed batsman had devastated Australia's batting unit equipped with legendary batsmen and the Kangaroos had to suffer a humiliating defeat of 295 runs at their own home. Now Bumrah has to play 4 more matches in the Test series and if his performance continues like this then no one will be able to remove him from the number 1 position.
