New Delhi: Indian cricket team's star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja moved up to number one spot in the ICC Men's Test all-rounder rankings after a stellar performance in the series opener in Mohali Test against Sri Lanka, while Virat Kohli (No. 5 in ICC Test batting rankings) and Rishabh Pant (No.1 in ICC wicket-keeper Test rankings) have also improved their rankings.

Ravindra Jadeja jumped 17 places in ICC Test batting rankings, from 54th to 37th position, courtesy of his unbeaten 175-run knock in the first innings against Sri Lanka, and picked nine wickets in the same match to move to top spot in ICC Test all-rounders rankings.

Jadeja's all-round performance against Sri Lanka was enough to remove West Indies' star all-rounder Jason Holder from the top spot, who had held the No. 1 spot since February 2021. Team India had won the first test by an innings and 222 runs and Jadeja was adjudged 'Player of the Match'.

The last time Jadeja had attained the top spot in ICC Men's all-rounder rankings was in August 2017, but for just one week.
