Joe Root Reclaims Top Spot in Test Batting Rankings

Joe Root has reclaimed the No.1 spot in the ICC Men's Test Player Rankings, ending Kane Williamson's tenure at the top. Root's remarkable performance in the series against the West Indies, where he scored a series-high 291 runs across three matches, propelled him past the New Zealand veteran.

Root's standout innings included an 87 in the final Test in Birmingham, enabling the 33-year-old to regain the premier position he had lost last year. His exceptional form throughout the series was instrumental in his ascent back to the top of the rankings.
