Ravindra Jadeja is once again the world's number one Test all-rounder after his stunning performance against Sri Lanka in Mohali.
Jadeja scored a career-best unbeaten 175 and took match figures of 9-87 as India hammered the tourists by an innings and 222 runs in the first Test at the PCA Stadium.
The 33-year-old's exploits moved him above team-mate Ravichandran Ashwin and West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder to top the rankings.
Holder, currently in action in the first Test against England in Antigua, slips to second and Ashwin is third.
Jadeja was named man of the match for a third time in Mohali after tormenting Sri Lanka.
Virat Kohli is up two places to fifth in the batting rankings after making 45 in his 100th Test - and his first since stepping down as India captain.
Australia run machine Marnus Labuschagne remains the top-ranked batsman in the world, with his captain Pat Cummins still the number one bowler.
