Jadeja solidifies No. 1 Test all-rounder spot; Abhishek is top-ranked batter in T20Is

Abhishek Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja on Wednesday stretched his lead to consolidate as the world No 1 all-rounder in Test cricket, while Abhishek Sharma rose to the top spot in the T20 format for the first time.

In the latest ICC Men's Test Player Rankings, Jadeja stretched his lead by 117 rating points from the second-placed Mehidy Hasan Miraz of Bangladesh, getting to a total of 422 points.

On the other hand, Travis Head's year-long reign at the top ended after he missed the five-match series in the Caribbean which Australia won 5-0, following which India opener Sharma moved up to the No 1 spot in T20s.

The left-handed Sharma now has 829 rating points while Head is now second with 814 points.
