Virat Kohli dropped out of top-10 for the first time in six years. Pant's meteoric rise in the rankings comes after his heroics in the recently-held Covid-delayed fifth Test between India and England in which he scored 146 and 57 across two innings. It is worth mentioning that Pant scored two tons and three half centuries in his last six Test innings.
The performances in the Edgbaston Test between England and India have led to quite a few changes in the ICC Test rankings. England won the match by 7 wickets, registering their highest ever successful chase in Test cricket. The heroes of that chase, Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow, are both now in the Top 10 rankings for batters. Root further cemented his place at the top of the rankings while Bairstow moved 11 places to teach the 10th spot.
Virat Kohli's place in the side. After being in control, India were bowled out for 245 in their second innings, setting England a record target of 378 runs that the hosts reached with ease. Joe Root smashed an unbeaten 142 and Jonny Bairstow hit 114 not out as England cruised to their highest Test run-chase with two sessions to spare at Edgbaston.
Brilliant centuries from Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow saw England complete their biggest chase in Test cricket to beat India at Edgbaston in the rescheduled 5th Test and draw the series 2-2 on Tuesday. Root was unbeaten on 142 while Bairstow hit 114 not out in England's second innings as they registered a seven-wicket win against India. In the process, the Yorkshire duo registered the first instance of two batters finishing with unbeaten centuries in a successful chase in Test cricket.
The Jasprit Bumrah-led Indian cricket team promised much, but ultimately delivered too little in the rescheduled fifth Test against England at Edgbaston. The visitors had two centurions and their fast bowlers looked a more disciplined bunch early on, only to flounder when it mattered the most. As the Test progressed, India's grip loosened and ultimately ended in England registering their highest-ever successful chase in Tests. Chasing 378 in the fourth innings, few would have given England a chance. But some lacklustre bowling by India led to England doing the improbable.
Sachin Tendulkar lavished praise on England batters Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow for their spectacular batting performance in the fifth Test against India. A 269-run partnership between Root and Bairstow helped England create history, with the side completing their highest successful run chase ever in the longest format of the game with a seven-wicket win over India at Edgbaston in Birmingham.

In the final innings of the match, England needed to chase down 378 runs and they did that quite easily, courtesy of unbeaten centuries from Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow.
