His performance at the Test Cricket led him to the no. 1 position in the ICC Men’s Test Player Ranking. August 2017 was the last time when he topped the list but only spent a week at the number one position. West Indies Player Jason Holder was in the number 1 position since February 2021 but Ravindra Jadeja gave an excellent performance at Sri Lanka vs India match which was enough to drag him down from his position.
Also for ICC Test Batting Rankings Jadeja’s position preceded up to 17 positions, claiming the 37th position direct from 54th because of his performance after picking 9 wickets and 175-run knock in the first innings against the Sri Lankan Team. India defeated Sri Lanka with a total score of 574 runs to Sri Lanka’s 178 runs.
Huge victory!
