Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, who climbed a spot to b🔥e joint-ninth, is the other Indian giving Bumrah company in the top-10.
He shares the nint♐h spot with Australian pacer Scott Boland, who has made a remarkable leap oꦍf 29 places to break into the top 10.

Australia skipper Pat Cummins also made gains in the rankings, climbing to number two after picking up five wickets in the final match. South Africa's Kagiso Rabada rose a spot to occܫupy the third place🔯 while injured Josh Hazlewood moved down two places to be fourth.
