Dubai: After a forgettable outing with scores of 13 and 1 in the opening Test against England at Rajkot, Ajinkya Rahane, the only Indian batsman in the top 10, dropped four places to 9th in the latest ICC Test rankings, released on Monday.
However, centurions in the first innings, Cheteshwar Pujara and Murali Vijay rose two spots each to No.11 and No.23 while skipper Virat Kohli’s match-saving unbeaten 49 in the second essay helped him gain a spot to No.14 in the list headed by Steve Smith. England’s Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes, were among the biggest movers outside the top-10 with Ali finding himself at No.26 after gaining six spots while Stokes is at No.32.
