India's Ravindra Jadeja has slipped off the number one spot in the rankings of best Test all-rounders in the world after over 4 years as South Africa's Marco Jansen took the top position following his stellar show against Australia in Gqeberha.

The South African left-arm pacer moved up one rung in the latest ICC Men's Player Rankings update. He scored an impressive 451 points in the latest update to move on top of the Test all-rounders list for the first time in his career. Jansen was instrumental in helping his side win the second Test against Australia to level the series. He contributed with both bat and ball in a match-winning manner.

Marco Jansen overtakes Mitchell Starc to become No. 1 test bowler

Marco Jansen helped South Africa to draw the three-match encounter in the World Test Championship, with a blistering knock of 85 and taking a vital five-wicket haul in the first innings. The outstanding performance saw him rise to the top of the ICC Test bowling rankings, knocking Australia's Mitchell Starc off his pedestal.

The 26-year-old has rocketed up the rankings for all three Test formats. In addition to being the highest-ranked all-rounder and bowler, he has climbed 13 spots in the Test batting rankings to be ranked 56th.

After being praised by former SA fast bowling legend Dale Steyn, who dubbed him the best player in the world, Jansen has shown he deserves such praise with his recent ranking success. He is now one of the most influential all-rounders in the world.
Jadeja's four-year period at the top ends
Ravindra Jadeja has been ranked number one in the ICC Test all-rounders rankings for over four years due to his consistent all-round performances. The veteran's reliability has made him one of the most dependable players in Test cricket.

The rise of the South African knocks Jadeja off his throne and rewards him for his match-winning impact in the vital Test series. Jansen has proven he can play both ends of the bat and is now one of the best players.

Temba Bavuma has made a big step forward in the Test batting rankings, moving up four spots to second place after his Player of the Match performance against Australia. He scored 179 in the first innings, only being topped by England's Harry Brook, who is the captain.

Simon Harmer, South Africa's spinner, has made a huge jump up to eighth in the Test all-rounder rankings, moving up 15 spots. Scott Boland moved up three spots to sixth in the Test bowling rankings.
