IND vs AUS- Indian Skipper Rohit Sharma Climbs Up to 8th Spot In ICC Rankings

Following his match-defining century in Nagpur, India’s captain Rohit Sharma has climbed up two spots in the ICC Men’s Test Batting Rankings, moving from 10th to 8th position. 

Rohit Sharma’s impressive knock of 120 came after Australia had been bowled out for just 177 in their first innings. His composed and assured innings on a seemingly tricky wicket set the tone for the rest of the match and was instrumental in India’s comprehensive victory.
