The Englishman Joe Root has reclaimed the top spot in the ICC Test Men’s Batting rankings following his impressive performances led the hosts score a 22-run victory against India on the field at Lord’s.
Root (888 score points) returned to the No.1 position from his fellow compatriot Harry Brook (862) thanks to scores of 104 and 40 in which the hosts gained an advantage of 2-1 during the series of five matches.
