Root hits career-high rating in ICC Test rankings after Multan masterclass

Joe Root's extraordinary knock of 262 during England’s crushing victory over Pakistan in the first Test in Multan has propelled him to a personal best of 932 rating points. Root’s dominant position at the top of the rankings now sees him lead by over 100 points, with teammate Harry Brook climbing 11 places to share second place with New Zealand’s Kane Williamson. Brook’s rise comes after his remarkable triple-century in the same match.
