ICC Test Rankings: The fourth match of the Test series between India and Australia will be played from December 26, but before that the ICC has once again released the Test rankings. However, there has been no change in the top 3 batsmen. But even after this, a lot of upheaval is being seen. While Australia’s dashing batsman Travis Head seems to be getting benefits, India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal has suffered a loss. The big and important thing is that Team India’s star player Rishabh Pant has been out of the top 10 after a long time.
