Ashwin replaces Anderson as No.1 ranked Test bowler

Dubai, March 1: Veteran Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on Wednesday jumped to the top of the latest ICC Men’s Test Bowling Rankings, replacing England pacer James Anderson.
Ashwin claimed the top spot after taking six wickets in India’s emphatic victory over Australia in the second Test in New Delhi.
Anderson dropped to second place after England’s stunning loss to New Zealand in the Wellington Test.
The 36-year-old Ashwin first claimed the top honour among Test bowlers in 2015, and has returned to the top spot on several occasions since then.
Jadeja also moved up the bowling rankings into eighth spot. (PTI)
