Now, he has a career-best 883 ranking points, ahead of Rabada (872 points) and Hazlewood (860 points). Another Indian pacer, Mohammed Siraj, has moved up three places to 25th.
Meanwhile, star batter Virat Kohli improved nine spots to reach 13th after his 30th Test century. Wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant remains sixth among batters. Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin remain the top players in the Test all-rounders ranking despite not featuring in the Perth Test.
