Two Indian spinners have done their country proud by making it to the top 10 ICC Test bowlers' list. While England's James Anderson may be the number one Test bowler currently, India's Ravi Ashwin is not too far behind. The Chennai turner (871 points) trails Anderson (884 points) by a mere 13 points in ICC Player Rankings for Test Bowlers but is ranked first on the all-rounder's list. India has one more reason to rejoice about. Spinner Ravindra Jadeja, who has had an impressive outing in Tests, maintained his sixth position with 789 points. Australia captain Steve Smith is the number-one ranked Test batsman followed by Joe Root of England. Anderson has topped the list for the first time in his career after England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker took his tally beyond 450 in the series-sealing victory over Sri Lanka at Chester-le-Street.
