DUBAI: India pacer Mohammed Siraj has attained a career-best 15th position in the latest ICC Test rankings following his match-winning performance in the fifth and final Test against England at The Oval.

Siraj jumped 12 spots following his nine wickets in the match, including a five-for, as India defeated the hosts by six runs in a thriller to draw the series 2-2.

With England requiring 35 runs on the last day with four wickets in hand, a charged-up Siraj, who was adjudged ‘Player of the Match’, accounted for three batters, including the last dismissal of Gus Atkinson, to earn India a remarkable win.

Siraj’s highest ICC ranking until now was 16th, achieved in January last year. He has now broken into the ICC Test top 15, joining Jasprit Bumrah as one of two Indian bowlers in the elite list.

India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who played three Tests to manage his workload, continues to lead the charts with 889 points.
