South African speedster Kagiso Rabada has replaced England’s James Anderson as the no.1 Test bowler in the world. He took five wickets in the recently concluded Test match against India in Cape Town, the first of a three-match series.

The Cape Town Test helped South Africa beat India by 72 runs and take a 1-0 lead in the series. In the batsman’s rankings, Virat Kohli has now gone down to third with England captain Joe Root replacing him in the second spot.

Among Rabada’s victims in the first innings were Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya. He managed to dismiss Pandya in the second innings too and this effort helped him surpass Anderson. Rabada is now at 888 rating points while Anderson is on 887.

India’s swing master Bhuvneshwar Kumar took a leap of eight places to a career-best 22 following his impressive show in a lost cause in the first Test against South Africa but Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara slipped in the ICC ranking ladder. He had taken six wickets across two South African innings in the first Test, which India lost by 72 runs.

Ravindra Jadeja is still standing at third and is followed by his partner Ravichandran Ashwin. Vernon Philander jumped six places to get to the sixth position.

Kohli struggled to make runs in Cape Town, managing just 5 and 28 in the match. Australian captain Steve Smith remains miles above the chasing pack with 947 rating points, with second-placed Root only on 881. Cheteshwar Pujara is down to fifth.
