India's two main match-winners are also ranking highly in the ICC rankings with Virat Kohli maintaining a slender lead at the top of the ICC Test batsman list ahead of Steve Smith, while India's lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah broke into the top 10 after his highly skilled 5 wickets for 7 runs in the first Test of the series against the West Indies.
The biggest gainer, however, was all-rounder Ben Stokes, following his stupendous effort in the third Test against Australia at Headingley. It has helped him reach career-best positions among batsmen and all-rounders. He is now 13th among batsmen and second among all-rounders in the latest ICC Test rankings.
