ICC Test Rankings 2025: Root and Bumrah Hold Top Spots, Pant and Duckett Make Big Gains

India’s explosive wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has jumped to a career-best 7th in the latest ICC Test rankings for batters, thanks to his two brilliant centuries in the first Test against England at Leeds. Shubman Gill, India’s new Test captain, also made a move up climbing five spots to 20th after his century in the first innings. Even though India lost the match by five wickets despite setting a tough target of 371, Pant’s performance stood out. He also became just the second wicketkeeper ever to score two centuries in the same Test match.

Before 27-year-old Rishabh Pant matched the feat, Zimbabwe’s Andy Flower was the only wicketkeeper to score two centuries in the same Test. Pant smashed 134 and 118 in the thrilling Leeds Test, which England won by five wickets. On the bowling side, there wasn’t much change in the rankings India’s pace ace Jasprit Bumrah held on to the top spot after picking up another five-wicket haul at Headingley.
