After the end of all the Test matches of 2020, International Cricket Council (ICC) has updated the Test rankings on Thursday. Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah are the two Indians who have gained points to progress within the top 10.

The two prominent Indian bowlers have advanced after Team India’s victory in the second Test against Australia in MCG. The veteran off-spinner Ashwin played a huge role in that victory, picking five wickets while made Steve Smith his bunny.

On the other hand, with the absence of his bowling partner Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah took the responsibility. He went on to notch six wickets in the second Test to guide India to eight wickets victory.

Mitchell Starc, who also featured in that second Test, has also advanced to two points but his teammate Josh Hazlewood has lost points to come down to number the eighth position.
