India pacer Mohammed Siraj has achieved a career-best 15th position in the latest ICC Test rankings, thanks to his stellar performance in the fifth and final Test against England at The Oval.<\/p>\n

Siraj climbed 12 spots after taking nine wickets in the match, which included a five-wicket haul, as India triumphed over the hosts by six runs in a thrilling contest to level the series 2-2.<\/p>\n

With England needing 35 runs on the final day and having four wickets in hand, a fired-up Siraj, who was named \u2018Player of the Match,\u2019 dismissed three batters, including the last wicket of Gus Atkinson, securing a remarkable win for India.<\/p>\n

Siraj\u2019s previous best ICC ranking was 16th, achieved in January last year.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s pace ace Jasprit Bumrah, who managed his workload by playing three Tests, continues to lead the rankings with 889 points.<\/p>\n

Prasidh Krishna also reached a career-high 59th position, as he and Siraj became only the second Indian pair to take four or more wickets each in both innings of a Test, a feat previously accomplished by spinners Bishan Bedi and Erapalli Prasanna against Australia in Delhi in 1969.<\/p>\n

India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal returned to the top-5 in the Test batting rankings following his second century of the series at The Oval.<\/p>\n

Jaiswal climbed three spots and now has 792 points, while the only other Indian batter in the top-10 is Rishabh Pant, who has slipped to eighth after missing the fifth Test due to a foot injury.<\/p>\n

England\u2019s charismatic batter Joe Root has solidified his position at the top with his third century in as many matches, while Harry Brook\u2019s 98-ball 111 has helped him move up to second place.<\/p>\n

In the bowling department, England fast bowlers Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue have achieved career-best positions, each taking eight wickets in the match. Atkinson is now in the top-10 for the first time, while Tongue has moved up 14 places to 46th.<\/p>\n
