India's Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant have slipped one place each in the latest ICC Test batting rankings, with Afghanistan captain Rahmat Shah making history by breaking into the top 10 for the first time.
Pant is now placed eighth with 713 rating points, while Gill occupies the 10th position with 697 points. They are the only two Indian batters in the top 10. Another Indian, Yashasvi Jaiswal, is placed 13th in the latest list.
The rankings are led by England's Harry Brook and Joe Root, who occupy the first and second positions, respectively. Australia's Travis Head is third, followed by South Africa's Temba Bavuma and Australia's Steve Smith.
Meanwhile, Rahmat has become the first player from Afghanistan to enter the top 10 in any category of the ICC Men's Player Rankings. The 33-year-old climbed six places to reach a career-best seventh position in the Test batting rankings after scoring 173 runs in the opening match of Afghanistan's two-Test series against Zimbabwe in Sharjah.
It was the fifth Test century of Rahmat's career and his second this year. The knock helped him move ahead of India's Shubman Gill, South Africa's Aiden Markram and Sri Lanka's Kamindu Mendis.
The achievement also adds to a successful period for Afghanistan cricket. Earlier this month, the team reached its highest-ever position in the ICC Men's ODI Team Rankings, moving up to sixth place after winning a tri-series involving Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.

In the Test all-rounders' rankings, India's Ravindra Jadeja remains second, behind Jansen. Washington Sundar is the other Indian in the top 10, occupying seventh place.
