ICC Test Rankings: Kane Williamson reclaims top spot; Rahane advances
New Zealand's Kane Williamson reclaims top spot in ICC Test Rankings for Batsmen

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson has reclaimed the number one position in the ICC Men's Test Batting Rankings after leading his side to the World Test Championship title. The 30-year-old has overtaken Australia's Steve Smith, who had earlier eclipsed Williamson. Williamson now enjoys a 10-point lead over the latter. Meanwhile, India's Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane has also advanced in the Rankings for Batsmen.

Williamson dethrones Smith in the Batting Rankings

Williamson rose to the top after scoring 49 and 52* in the low-scoring WTC final against India. His knocks were of utmost importance in both the innings. The New Zealand captain now owns 901 points in the ICC Batting Rankings, 10 more than Smith. Notably, Williamson had conceded the top spot to Smith just two weeks ago.

Williamson's compatriot, Ross Taylor, who scored an unbeaten 47 in the run-chase, has advanced three places to 14th position. NZ opener Devon Conway has gained 18 slots to reach 42nd place, having smashed 54 in the first innings. India's vice-captain, Rahane, has moved three places to 13th position after registering scores of 49 and 15 in the historic WTC final.
