Ravindra Jadeja has jumped ahead of Ben Stokes in the current ICC Test Rankings for all-rounders, which were updated on Wednesday. Jadeja is now only one spot behind Jason Holder of the West Indies, who continues to lead the list.
Ravindra Jadeja has 386 points, which is 37 points less than Jason Holder and just 1 point more than Ben Stokes, who is not playing in the current two-match Test series against New Zealand at home. Due to an injury sustained during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, Stokes has been ruled out. R Ashwin is ranked fourth on the list.
