Jadeja rises to career-high 13th in ICC bowling chart

Riding on his superb showing against South Africa, Indian left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja jumped eight rungs to be placed on a career-high 13th spot in the ICC bowling rankings led by Proteas pacer Dale Steyn.

In the latest chart released on Wednesday following the conclusion of the Bengaluru and Perth Tests, retired Australian pacer Mitchell Johnson signed off with a ninth-placed finish. But it was Jadeja who saw a signinficant rise after his eight wickets in the first Test and four scalps in the only innings possible during the rain-truncated second match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The left-handed all-rounder has been in terrific form after bagging 38 wickets in four Ranji games which forced the selectors to bring him back into the international mix of things.
