Virat Kohli climbs to eighth in ICC Test rankings; Yashasvi Jaiswal breaks into top 10

Senior Indian batter Virat Kohli has climbed two spots to eighth in the latest ICC Test rankings, reaffirming his status as one of the world's leading Test cricketers. However, his captain, Rohit Sharma, has dropped one place to sixth. The rankings also saw a significant leap for young Yashasvi Jaiswal, who moved up to seventh, marking his first entry into the top 10.

England's veteran batter Joe Root continues to hold the top spot in the Test rankings, following his successful performance against Sri Lanka in Manchester. His teammate Harry Brook also made impressive strides, advancing three places to fourth overall after contributing scores of 56 and 32 in the Old Trafford match.

Meanwhile, Pakistan's Babar Azam experienced a notable decline, falling six places from a shared third to ninth after a rare failure in the first innings against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi. On the other hand, Mohammad Rizwan has made a remarkable jump, gaining seven spots to share the 10th position, thanks to his century in the same match.

Bangladesh's Mushfiqur Rahim has achieved a career-high ranking, climbing seven spots to 17th. England seamer Chris Woakes advanced four places to 16th, and Sri Lanka's Asitha Fernando made a significant move, rising 10 spots to 17th.
