Stokes, Jadeja rise in ICC Test rankings after Manchester draw
All-rounders Ben Stokes and Ravindra Jadeja have made significant gains in the ICC Men's Test Player Rankings following their standout performances in the drawn fourth Test of the World Test Championship series between England and India.
England captain Stokes has moved up three places to third among all-rounders—his highest position since December 2022. His innings of 141 and a six-wicket match haul, which included a five-for in the first innings, also helped him rise eight places to 34th among batters and from 45th to 42nd among bowlers.
Jadeja has further strengthened his position as the top-ranked all-rounder after scoring an unbeaten 107 and claiming four wickets. He added 13 rating points to reach a total of 422—117 points ahead of second-placed Mehidy Hasan of Bangladesh. Jadeja also gained five spots to reach 29th among batters and moved up one place to 14th among bowlers.
Joe Root's 150 at Old Trafford extended his lead at the top of the batting rankings to 37 rating points over second-placed Kane Williamson. Openers Ben Duckett (up five places to 10th) and Zak Crawley (up two places to 43rd) also made notable progress, while Ollie Pope has moved up to 24th.
India all-rounder Washington Sundar's unbeaten 101 in the second innings—during which he shared a 203-run stand with Jadeja for an unbroken fifth wicket—helped him climb eight places to 65th among batters. Sundar also moved up eight spots to joint-13th in the all-rounders' list, having taken two wickets in the match.
In the bowling rankings, Jofra Archer continued his impressive return after nearly four years. His 3 for 73 helped him jump 38 places to 63rd. Chris Woakes also made gains, rising one place to 23rd after taking three wickets in the match, including a double strike early in India's second innings.

Sachin Tendulkar, James Anderson nowhere at India-England trophy presentation named after them, ECB silent
The inaugural Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between England and India came to a thrilling end on Monday afternoon as Shubman Gill's side registered a thrilling six-run win in front of a jam-packed crowd at the Oval. Heading into the fifth and final day, England needed 35 runs while India required four wickets. The last day started off with Jamie Overton smashing two boundaries off the bowling of Prasidh Krishna, bringing the target down to 27. The inaugural Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy concluded with the scoreline 2-2. (PTI) However, Mohammed Siraj finally got his moment to shine as he led India to a memorable victory. He took three out of the remaining four wickets, completing a remarkable fifer. In the end, the visitors registered a six-run win to level the five-match series at 2-2. However, it must be mentioned that neither James Anderson nor Sachin Tendulkar was present for the trophy presentation. No one from Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi's family was also spotted handing over the Pataudi medal to Shubman Gill and Ben Stokes. The reasons for their absence are not known at this time. However, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) continues to maintain its silence. Before the start of the series between India and England, the ECB confirmed their decision to retire the Pataudi Trophy and rename it after two modern-day greats - James Anderson and Sachin Tendulkar. The Pataudi Trophy was launched before the 2007 series between the two countries. On that occasion, Mansoor Ali Khan had himself presented it to the then-India captain, Rahul Dravid, for winning the series 1-0. Also Read: 'When Siraj took the last wicket, as much as I was disappointed…': England coach McCullum hails India in 'best series' Both James Anderson and Sachin Tendulkar were present during the June trophy launch. However, the duo was nowhere to be seen at the end presentation ceremony. Siraj's lion-hearted effort Mohammed Siraj finished as the leading wicket-taker in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with 23 scalps to his name. In the Oval Test against England, Siraj returned with nine wickets, including a crucial fifer in the second innings. Siraj took the final wicket for India as his ripping yorker castled the stumps of Gus Atkinson, leading to some joyous scenes in the Indian dressing room. In the morning session of Day 4, Siraj dropped the crucial catch of Harry Brook, and England's No.5 went on to smash 111 runs. However, Siraj took it upon himself to undo his mistake, and as fate would have it, the pacer did so and in some style. "I thought the match was gone. Had we got Harry Brook out before lunch, things would have been different. There would have been no fifth day. That was a game-changing moment. But we came back strongly after that," Siraj said after leading India to a victory. "When I woke up this morning, I told myself I would change the game. I opened Google, downloaded a 'believe' image and put that as my phone wallpaper," he added.

Test cricket should be left as it is, only format which gives a second chance: Gill
Five Tests between India and England going down to the wire should be enough to convince the sport's authorities not to tinker with the format, reckoned Shubman Gill after a dramatic win at The Oval on Monday. All five games were stretched to day five, making it an ideal promotion for the format that faces threat from franchise cricket boom. On a lighter note, Gill said a four-day Test in this context would have led to four drab draws. 'Test cricket should be, as it is, in my opinion, it is the most, rewarding and satisfying format, you work the hardest, to be able to, get a win, and, the best thing, about this format, is it always gives you a second chance, which none of the other formats give,' Gill said in the post-match press conference. 'So, if you keep working hard, if you keep doing the right things, there is always a second chance. So, in my opinion, this is the most rewarding, and satisfying format, I don't think there should be any changes made to this format,' said a beaming Gill. India-England rivalry has always been big: Stokes on Ashes comparison England captain Ben Stokes said it was special to be part of the series though he ended up missing The Oval Test due to a shoulder injury. So, is the rivalry at par with the Ashes? 'I think it's always been a very big rivalry — India and England. It obviously just doesn't have that Ashes attachment to it. But this series has always been big. I don't think that will change,' said Stokes. 'It's been a pretty special one to be a part of. It's been full of ups and downs, ebbs and flows throughout every game. India being in control, we've been in control. Then it's gone back to them, then it's come back to us.' The just-concluded series led Stokes' memory back to the 2023 Ashes at home. 'So to be a part of it and be able to experience five games like this has been pretty special. We had a similar situation here in '23 with the Ashes when we had to come here and win the game. And that, again, was another special series to be a part of,' added Stokes.(PTI)

‘Supermen from India! What a win
London: The legendary Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli led the cricket fraternity in lavishing praise on the Indian team after the stunning win in the fifth Test against England on Monday, which helped them square the five-match series. Pacer Mohammed Siraj (5/104) was the standout performer, delivering one of his finest performances under pressure. He finished the series with 23 wickets — the highest across both teams. Set a record target of 374, England were well-placed at 339 for six at stumps on the penultimate day, before bad light and rain halted play. However, India picked up the remaining four wickets quickly on the final morning to bowl England out for 367. Tendulkar lauded the team's performance, rating them a perfect 10. 'Test cricket... absolute goosebumps. Series 2–2, Performance 10/10! SUPERMEN from INDIA! What a Win,' Tendulkar tweeted. Kohli, who retired from the Test format before this tour of England, wrote on 'X', 'Great win by team india. Resilience and determination from Siraj and Prasidh has given us this phenomenal victory. Special mention to Siraj who will put everything on the line for the team. Extremely happy for him.' Siraj promptly thanked Kohli for 'believing' in his abilities. Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly praised the team's consistency and key performers. 'Exceptional series from Jadeja, Washington, Pant ..so much consistency from this young team. @bcci.' Meanwhile, swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who was ruled out of the fifth Test due to a broken foot, said this team is 'hungry' for success and will take Indian cricket forward. 'A tour that asked a lot and gave even more in return. Proud of how this team stood up, adapted and kept fighting. Representing the country means everything to us, it takes everything out of you but we take pride in that.
