Bettering Pant's 731 rating points is behind of Yashasvi Jaiswal's 751, who makes a move up to fifth in large part courtesy to a half-century in the first innings of the Test match.
Sri Lanka's Prabath Jayasuriya has solidified himself as one of the best spinners, jumping five spots into eighth. On the contrary, Sri Lankan captain Dhananjaya De Silva has climbed five spots 18th on the all-rounder rankings (168).
Young Afghan batting prodigy Rahmanullah Gurbaz has continued his dream career start in the ODI cricket, smashing his seventh century in the format before his seventh century in the format and moving 10 spots in the process up to eighth (692). This is the first-ever time that an Afghanistan batter had reached the top 10 positions of the ICC Men's ODI batting rankings.
Travis Head also is having a fantastic period with the bat, and is firmly standing on ninth on the back of his outrageous 154* off only 129 deliveries against England in the first ODI.
Afghan star leg-spinner Rashid Khan has joined Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the rankings highlights, moving eight spots to third (668) in the ODI bowling rankings, achiving seven wickets across the team's two wins against South Africa in UAE, where the Afghan side thrashed South Africa by 2-1.
