Axar and Arshdeep climb ODI rankings as Rahmat Shah reaches Test top 10
WicketPulse · Published
India’s bowlers made gains in the ICC’s 11 November update, while Rahmat Shah reached seventh among Test batters — Afghanistan’s first top-10 entry in any Test player category.
India’s ODI bowling gains
Axar Patel climbed 23 places to 21st after taking 2/28 in Wellington. Arshdeep Singh rose 11 places to joint 31st following four wickets in the Auckland opener. Gurnoor Brar moved from outside the top 100 to 48th, with seven wickets across the first two matches against New Zealand.
Rahmat’s milestone belongs to a different format
Rahmat advanced six places after scoring 173 against Zimbabwe in Sharjah. His Test batting position and the Indian bowlers’ ODI positions belong to different lists: they are not directly comparable measures of performance. The distinction matters when reading a combined weekly update.
Reading the movement
These are dated ranking positions, rather than new squad selections or predictions for the next match. Joint 31st denotes a shared position for Arshdeep. The gains describe the ICC update after the reported performances; they do not establish who will lead the rankings after the remaining fixtures.
