Yashasvi Jaiswal surges further in Test rankings; Continues meteoric rise

Yashasvi Jaiswal, India’s opener, has jumped 14 places to reach the 15th position in the Test cricket rankings. With two double-centuries in the series, Jaiswal’s jump in the rankings was predicted. In the recent Test match against England, he scored an unbeaten 214 runs and with that, he completed his third double-century in total and the 2nd one in the ongoing series. Now he is a part of a select band of seven cricketers who scored double centuries in two consecutive Tests including two Indians, Vinod Kambli and Virat Kohli.

Along with Jaiswal, his fellow opener and the captain of the team, Rohit Sharma has jumped up one spot to the 12th position after his brilliant century in the 3rd Test match. Moreover, even Shubman Gill has reached the 35th position after missing out on his well-deserved century.

Ravindra Jadeja has jumped up in the batters ranking from the 41st to 34th position after his amazing innings of 112 runs against England. Due to his all-round performance, Jadeja remains on top of the all-rounders list with record-breaking rate points of 469. In the bowling rankings, he has jumped up three places to reach the sixth spot. Overall, he is having a great time on and off the field in terms of his career.

‘I know about this wicket’ – Ravindra Jadeja after winning Player of the Match award

Ravindra Jadeja was awarded the Player of the Match award in the 3rd Test match against England for an all-round performance. Moreover, as he was playing in his home ground, it was beneficial for him in most of the cases. Thus, Jadeja talked about how India was mentally prepared for batting first after winning the toss on the flat track.

Jadeja said, “I was just looking to build partnerships with Rohit, we were in a difficult situation, look to back my strengths, play my shots, not try and be more conscious. Watch the ball and play the ball. I know about this wicket, if we bat first, it is always good to bat on, in the second half it starts spinning, when Rohit won the toss, we were thinking: this is all that we wanted, bat first, bowl second.”
