Kane Williamson Reclaims No. 1 Spot in Test Batsman Rankings

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has topped the ICC Test batsman rankings again, overtaking Australia's Steven Smith.

Williamson is now at the top with 901 ratings. Smith is in second place with a rating of 891. Williamson failed to show himself in the two-match Test series against England earlier this month. He dropped to second place in the rankings due to poor performance.

However, Williamson scored 49 and unbeaten 52 in the two innings of the final of the World Test Championship. As a result, he removed Smith and returned to the top of the rankings. In that final, New Zealand defeated India by 8 wickets to win the first Test championship.

Ross Taylor, Devon Conway, Kyle Jamieson and Trent Bolt have also improved their rankings through their final match's performances.

Despite scoring 11 in the first innings, Taylor ensured New Zealand's victory in the second innings with an unbroken partnership of 96 for the third wicket. He scored an 47 runs (Not-out). Taylor moved up three places to 14th place.
