Before the Melbourne Test, ICC has released the Test rankings and before that, 4 players of Team India have got a big shock. The ICC Test rankings of Rishabh Pant, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill have fallen badly. All four players have not been able to do anything special in the Border-Gavaskar series so far and all four have suffered losses in Test rankings. The biggest blow has been suffered by Rishabh Pant who has been out of the top 10. Before the Brisbane Test, Pant's ranking was 9 but due to poor performance there, he has now dropped out of the top 10 and has come to number 11.
The flop in the Brisbane Test has cost Virat Kohli a lot. He is out of the top 20. Virat's rating points have increased to 646. Shubman Gill has also suffered a heavy failure in Brisbane and he has fallen 4 places to 20th position. Rohit Sharma's condition is even worse. This player is out of the top 30. Rohit Sharma has fallen five places to 35th position. Yashasvi Jaiswal has also lost one place and has slipped to fifth place.
Jasprit Bumrah is in disgrace in the ICC Test rankings. This right-arm fast bowler remains at the number 1 position. Bumrah's rating points have increased to 904. He is the only fast bowler in India who has crossed the mark of 900 rating points. If Bumrah performs well in Melbourne, he will become the bowler with the highest rating points in Indian history.
