India spinner Pragyan Ojha on Sunday broke into the top-15 of the ICC cricket rankings for the first time in his career following a strong show against the West Indies in the third Test, in which he took seven wickets. Six of his seven wickets came in West Indies' second innings and he jumped 11 places to 15th, just ahead of Australia's Peter Siddle.
However, India paceman Ishant Sharma slipped three places to 20th after taking just one wicket in the match. Out of action pacer Zaheer Khan remained at number six.
Meanwhile, India continued to be second in the team rankings, but closed the gap on England at the top of the table to seven points. India gained one ratings point for the 2-0 series win and moves to 118 ratings points.
In the ranking for Test batsmen, Sachin Tendulkar (6), Rahul Dravid (8), and V.V.S. Laxman (14) lost a place each, while Virender Sehwag is unchanged at 19.
