India wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant on Wednesday rose five places to sixth spot in the latest ICC Men`s Test Batter Rankings following his strong performance in a losing cause in third Test against New Zealand in Mumbai last week.

Pant made the jump on the back of a pair of half-centuries during the Mumbai Test, in a sure sign that he is back to his best following a serious car accident, with the attacking left-hander now just one spot behind the career-best fifth position he first occupied in July 2022.
