Anderson’s achievement is a testament to his dedication and perseverance, having worked hard to maintain his form and fitness over the years. Ravichandran Ashwin of India has climbed to the second spot with 864 points, while Cummins has dropped to third with 858 points.

The rankings also saw a jump in the rating points of fourth-ranked Ollie Robinson, who now has 820 points. Jasprit Bumrah of India, currently nursing an injury, sits in fifth place with 795 points.
