The International Cricket Council (ICC) released its latest weekly player charts on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, bringing immense cheer to Indian cricket enthusiasts. Spearheaded by a magnificent red-ball century, Indian captain Shubman Gill has powered his way into the top 10 of the ICC Men’s Test Batting Rankings. Meanwhile, India’s absolute bowling and all-round supremacies remain completely untouched, with pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and spin wizard Ravindra Jadeja confidently maintaining their world number-one positions.
The biggest talking point from an Indian perspective is the meteoric rise of Shubman Gill. The 26-year-old dynamic batter jumped two places to claim the 8th position globally after smashing a masterclass century against Afghanistan in the one-off Test match at the Maharaja Singh PCA Stadium. Gill’s structural shift to the number three and four spots has yielded immense dividends, cementing his rating points at a stellar 743. He is accompanied in the top 10 by fellow young sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is holding strong at the 9th position with 733 rating points.
Global Shake-up: Harry Brook Reigns Supreme, Shubman Gill Enters Top 10
While the young Indian batting core continues to make massive leaps, the absolute summit of the Test batting charts witnessed a seismic, historic shift. England’s dynamic vice-captain Harry Brook has officially reclaimed the world number-one Test batting crown, dethroning his veteran teammate Joe Root.
| Rank | Batter | Country | Rating |
| 1 | Harry Brook | England | 869 |
| 2 | Travis Head | Australia | 853 |
| 3 | Joe Root | England | 851 |
| 4 | Steve Smith | Australia | 831 |
| 8 | Shubman Gill | India | 743 |
| 9 | Yashasvi Jaiswal | India | 733 |
Brook’s spectacular rise follows his brilliant, match-defining half-century under extreme pressure against New Zealand at Lord’s, which guided England to an emphatic 115-run victory. Conversely, Joe Root endured a rare dual failure across both innings (scoring 1 and 8), causing him to tumble down to third place, while Australia’s Travis Head capitalized on the slip to ascend to the second spot.
Bowling & All-Round Stability: Bumrah and Jadeja Dominate
While the batting matrix undergoes a massive transformation, India’s legendary bowling assets continue to freeze out the global competition. Speed maestro Jasprit Bumrah retains his crown as the undisputed world number-one Test bowler with 870 points, comfortably holding off heavy pressure from Australian pacers Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins.
Simultaneously, the premier Test all-rounder rankings continue to be governed by Ravindra Jadeja. The legendary left-arm maestro stays rooted at the top spot, a position he has fiercely defended over multiple cycles due to his unmatched dual utility in subcontinental and overseas conditions. With England quick Gus Atkinson also making major waves by breaking into the bowling top 10, the race for the World Test Championship cycle is heating up across all departments.
