Ravindra Jadeja is a true all-rounder in every sense of the game. The star cricketer excels not only with the bat and ball in hand but is also an extremely brilliant fielder. The cricketing world is no stranger to the all-around presence of the player in the field.

Recently, Jadeja put up a mind-boggling performance against Sri Lanka in the first Test at Mohali. Jadeja put up a brilliant batting display, scoring 175 runs in the only Indian innings of the match. His wonderful run did not end here as he went to take 9 wickets in the match.

Courtesy of this wonderful performance by Jadeja, India won the match by an innings and 222 runs. On the back of this performance, Ravindra Jadeja displaced West Indian Jason Holder from the top spot of the Test ranking for all-rounders. Jadeja being at top of the Test ranking for all-rounders is not the first time.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli made it back to the top five in the rankings for the batsman. Rishabh Pant played a momentum-changing knock on the very first day of the first test, scoring 96 of 97 deliveries. This attacking display of batting has earned Pant a spot in the top 10 of the rankings for batters. Marnus Labuschagne retained his number 1 spot in the rankings.

No major changes were seen in the top ten ranking of Test bowlers. The only notable change was seen with Neil Wagner and Josh Hazlewood as they swapped their places at the eighth and ninth spots.

The Twitteratis were quick to react to Jadeja’s ascend to the Number 1 spot.
