India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was back as top all-rounder while continuing to maintain his number one place among bowlers in the ICC Test rankings released on Monday.
Indian captain Virat Kohli has had an ordinary Test series against Australia with scores of 0, 13, 12 and 15 in the two matches so far and has slipped one place to fourth, logging 847 points.
New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson gained two places to reach second spot in the ICC Player Rankings for Test Batsmen.
The latest rankings, which considered performances in the first Test between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in Galle, which the home side won by 259 runs, saw Williamson leapfrog Joe Root and Kohli, after his fine knock of 130.
Williamson, who was ranked No 1 for a brief while in November-December 2015, is now on 869 points, 21 points ahead of third-placed Root (848) but a good 67 points adrift of table leader and Australian captain Steve Smith who's on 936 points.
Among other Indians Cheteshwar Pujara is unchanged on sixth.
The top 10 of the ICC Player Rankings for Test Bowlers remained unchanged with Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja occupying first and second spots respectively after the duo spun India to a sensational victory over Australia in the second Test in Bangalore by claiming eight and seven wickets respectively.
Meanwhile, Ashwin also dethroned Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan from the top spot for all-rounders. Ashwin is now on 434 points, 31 ahead of Shakib (403).
