ICC Test Ranking: Top Teams And Players Revealed

June 17, 2025: The latest ICC Test rankings bring mixed news for the Indian cricket team. Only two Indian players have managed to secure spots in the top 20, while experienced all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and batsman KL Rahul have slipped out of the top 40. Meanwhile, young batsman Shubman Gill’s ranking remains a topic of discussion.

Currently, Indian captain Virat Kohli and veteran batsman Cheteshwar Pujara are the only players in the top 20. Jadeja, who has been a key player for the team with his all-round skills, has dropped significantly in the rankings. KL Rahul, whose recent performances have been inconsistent, has also seen a steep decline in his position.

As for Shubman Gill, despite some impressive performances in recent times, his ICC ranking still hovers around the 50s, which many believe does not truly reflect his potential and talent.

Experts suggest that for Team India to improve its position in the Test rankings, it is crucial to give opportunities to new players and for existing players to maintain consistency.

The upcoming series will play a vital role in determining the future trajectory of India’s Test players’ rankings.
