South Africa’s KagisoRabada and Australia’s Josh Hazlewood follow Bumrah in the bowling rankings, while other players like Steve Smith and KL Rahul have also seen improvements in their standings. Bumrah’s achievement not only highlights his individual prowess but also underscores India’s strength in Test cricket as they prepare for their upcoming clash against Australia.
