Bangladesh has been devastated in the Test series against India. Especially, the bats of Bangladesh are in full swing. In a failed batting lineup, only Muminul Haque's century was a small achievement. Muminul has made a big jump in the ICC rankings in this century.

Bangladesh-India 2nd Test at Kanpur's Green Park ended yesterday. It is true that the game lasted for five days, but practically it did not take two days to finish the match. After the defeat of Bangladesh by 7 wickets, the ICC has updated the weekly rankings today. It can be seen in the ranking, Muminul has moved up 16 steps to number 42 in the ranking of Test batters. The rating point of this left-handed batter of Bangladesh is 551. He remained unbeaten on 107 off 194 balls in the first innings of the second Test of the series at Kanpur. This is his 13th Test century.

As Muminul moved up the batsmen's rankings, the bowling of Shakib Al Hasan and Mehdi Hasan Miraj improved. Shakib has moved up five steps to 28th in the Test bowlers' rankings. Bangladesh's left-handed spinning all-rounder has a rating of 551 points. Although he failed in the first Test of the series against India in Chennai, his spin showed up in the second Test. He took 4 wickets for 78 runs in the first innings against India at Kanpur's Green Park. Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin - Shakib has returned these four welcome batsmen. Especially Shakib's celebration by bowling Kohli was worth watching. Shakib has most likely played the last test in the Bangladesh jersey at the Kanpur ground.

Miraj took Bangladesh's maximum 9 wickets in the Test series against India. He has moved up four steps to 18th in the Test bowlers' rankings. His rating points are 640. In the first innings in Kanpur, Miraj took 4 wickets in tandem with Shakib. Jasprit Bumrah has regained his lost throne in the ranking of bowlers. Bumrah is now the number one bowler in the Test rankings after beating Ravichandran Ashwin. One step ahead, Bumrah's rating point is 870. Ravichandran Ashwin's rating is 869. With 11 wickets, Bumrah and Ashwin are joint-highest wicket takers in the Bangladesh-India Test series, with Ashwin being the series best in all-round performance.
