This was a time when he was the fifth best Test batsman in the world. In the ongoing Test batting rankings, his teammates Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant have also dropped six and five places to reach 14th and 11th position respectively. Kagiso Rabada overtook Jasprit Bumrah On the other hand, if we talk about bowling rankings, South African pacer Kagiso Rabada has snatched the first place from India’s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. He has now reached the top in the men’s test bowling rankings. Rabada is performing brilliantly against Bangladesh. He recently took nine wickets in the first Test of the series. Pakistan’s Noman Ali has also shown his talent in the Test bowling rankings. After his brilliant performance in two test matches against England, he has reached the top-10.

Anil Kumble gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the collapse of India’s first innings against New Zealand, while discussing on Geo Cinema, Anil Kumble said – Virat Kohli should have batted at number 4, he is your number 1 batsman at that position. For the number three spot, India needs someone like Cheteshwar Pujara, who has done so well playing there for so many years. He would have been there because he has played 100 Test matches. I think if he had been there, he wouldn’t have gotten to hit the ball. He would let the ball come in, in this situation you miss a player like that. India are definitely in a spot of bother in this match.
