NEW DELHI, Dec 29: Ravichandran Ashwin and Shreyas Iyer on Wednesday made significant gains in the ICC rankings after helping India win the second Test against Bangladesh in Mirpur.
Ashwin has moved up one slot and is joint-fourth among bowlers along with teammate Jasprit Bumrah after finishing with six wickets in the match.
He has also inched up three places to 84th among batters following a crucial unbeaten knock of 42 in the second innings that enabled a three-wicket victory and won India crucial WTC points.
Ashwin, who has been the No. 1 bowler and all-rounder in the past, has also earned seven rating points in the all-rounders' rankings, which are led by his compatriot Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja is currently on 369 rating points while Ashwin is on 343.
Iyer, who partnered Ashwin in an unbroken 71-run partnership that steered the team to victory, has attained a career-best 16th position.
Iyer's scores of 87 and 29 not out have helped him progress from 26th position, his previous best in the rankings.
Despite his player of the series performance in Bangladesh, Cheteshwar Pujara slipped three places to be 19th, while veteran batter Virat Kohli dropped two places from 12th to 14th after a forgettable series.
