Indian test skipper Anil Kumble has everything going in his favour these days. Captaining the team for the first time, Anil took the team to an emphatic win against Pakistan in the three match series, with his match winning performance clubbing seven wickets in the match. And now Jumbo has found a place in the ICC ranking of top ten bowler. The newly released ranking by ICC has ranked Anil as the sixth best bowler of the world. Anil shares the rank with New Zealand speedster Shane Bond. Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralidharan, who recently became the highest wicket taker in test cricket heads the ICC ranking.
The ranking is dominated by South African Bowlers with three of them (Makhaya Ntini in the second place, followed by Dale Steyn in the third spot and Shaun Pollock eighth) having their name in the the list. The batsman ranking is headed by Australian skipper Ricky Ponting, followed by Jacques Kallis (South Africa) and Kumar Sangakara (Sri Lanka) at second and third spot respectively. However, none of the Indian batsmen found a spot in the ranking. Former Indian captain Rahul Dravid is placed at 11th position, whereas Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman have moved one place up to 17th and the 19th, respectively.
