Retiring with 433 wickets at 28.08 and having become the most successful left-arm bowler in the history of the game so far, left-arm spinner Rangana Herath left the game at the end of the Galle Test against England as the 8th ranked bowler in Test cricket.

The canny old fox, as he is fondly called for his amazingly slight, sharp and shrewd changes at the point of delivery stride in order to befuddle the batsmen, especially on turning pitches, is the tenth-best wicket-taker in the world currently and is Sri Lanka's second best ever bowler in terms of numbers, behind only to the great Muttiah Muralitharan, with 800 scalps.

On the other hand, Keaton Jennings, who struggled to get going in tough conditions during the five-match Test series against India, made a massive jump of 41 places and now sits at 46th rank, following his outstanding innings of 146* in England's 211-run win in the three-match Test series.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Ben Foakes, who scored a ton on debut, also climbed up the ladder and is now ranked 69th among the batsman, where Indian skipper and world's best Virat Kohli sits comfortably at the top.

Virat has been simply outstanding across all conditions, for a while now and deserves to be bestowed with the pole position in the rankings.

Meanwhile, spin twins Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have affirmed slots at 5th and 9th respectively, for their magnificent performances leading upto the latest update.
