Test Rankings: Team India's fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah finally got what he really deserves. Jasprit Bumrah has become the number 1 bowler in the ICC Test rankings. In the Test rankings released on Wednesday, this right-arm fast bowler has achieved the number 1 ranking by defeating 3 players. Jasprit Bumrah was at number 4 in the rankings before the Test series against England. But in the last two Test matches, Bumrah captured the number 1 position by taking 15 wickets. Let us tell you that by becoming number 1, he made a big world record in his name.

Jasprit Bumrah created history

Jasprit Bumrah becoming number 1 in Test is a big thing in itself. He is the only bowler in cricket history who has occupied the number 1 position in every format. Bumrah had become number 1 in ODI and T20 and now he has achieved this position in Test also. Not only this, Bumrah is the first Indian fast bowler to reach the number 1 Test ranking.

Beat 3 players

Jasprit Bumrah ended the reign of his own team's legendary bowler R Ashwin. Ashwin remained the number 1 Test bowler for a long time. Now Ashwin has fallen to third place. Kagiso Rabada is at second place and Pat Cummins is at fourth place.

Bumrah's wonder

Indian pitches are usually dominated by spin bowlers but Bumrah surprised everyone and wreaked havoc in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam. This player managed to take 15 wickets in just 4 innings. In the Visakhapatnam Test, he took 6 wickets in the first innings on a batting friendly wicket. On the basis of this incredible bowling, he won Player of the Match in the second test.

Bumrah became number 1 bowler in test

Jasprit Bumrah has reached first place with 881 rating points. At the same time, R Ashwin has moved from first to third position. His rating points are 841. Whereas, Kagiso Rabada remains at second place. On the other hand, Australian captain Pat Cummins has come at number four. His rating points are 828. Ravindra Jadeja, who did not play in the second Test against England due to injury, has suffered a loss in this ranking. He has come at number 8.

Became the first bowler in the world to do so

This is the first time that Jasprit Bumrah has become the number one bowler in Test. Before this he had achieved this feat in ODI and T20. With this he has also registered his name in the history of cricket. He has become the first bowler in the world to become number-1 in all three formats in his career. Before this, no bowler in the world could achieve this feat. On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah has included his name in another list. He has become the second player from Asia after Virat Kohli to become number-1 in all three formats.
