Marnus Lasbuschagne
The reign of Joe Root as the No.1 Test batter in the world is over with Marnus Lasbuschagne scaling the heights to claim top billing and lead an Australian domination at the head of the MRF Tyres ICC Men’s Test Batting Rankings.
Root obtained the top ranking during a golden run with the bat over the most recent English summer, but a mixed performance in the recent first Test in Pakistan and a strong showing from Labuschagne against the West Indies has seen a major shake-up at the head of proceedings.
The ICC released their latest update to their player rankings on Wednesday and Labuschagne was the big winner as he claimed top spot from Root and closed in on a career high rating in the same process.
Labuschagne registered scores of 204 and 104* against the West Indies during the first Test in Perth and that helped the Australia No.3 take the top ranking and rise to a total of 935 rating points.
