Bangladesh batter Litton Das has regained his career-best 12th position in the MRF Tyres ICC Men’s Test Player Rankings.
Litton left Virat Kohli behind, who is placed in the 14th position on the list. Earlier, Litton claimed his career-best 12th position in March after the New Zealand series.
Litton scored 25 and 73 runs against India in the second Test match at Chattogram, which, however, Bangladesh lost by three wickets.
Mominul Haque moved up five places to 68th, debutant Zakir Hasan moved up seven places to joint-70th and Nurul Hasan placed at 93rd in the rankings.
Spinners Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz have gained two spots each to reach 28th and 29th positions, respectively.

While ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has gained one spot and is 32nd. Taijul had a four-wicket haul in the first innings while Mehidy and Shakib finished with six wickets each in the match.
Ravichandran Ashwin and Shreyas Iyer have also made significant gains in the rankings.
Ashwin has moved up one slot and is joint-fourth among bowlers along with Jasprit Bumrah after finishing with six wickets in the match. He has also inched up three places to 84th among batters following a crucial knock of 42 not out in the second innings that enabled a three-wicket victory and won India crucial WTC points.
Ashwin, who has been the No. 1 bowler and all-rounder in the past, has also earned seven rating points in the all-rounders’ rankings, which are led by his compatriot Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja is currently on 369 rating points while Ashwin is on 343.
Iyer, who partnered in an unbroken 71-run partnership with Ashwin that steered the team to victory, has attained a career-best 16th position.
Iyer’s scores of 87 and 29 not out have helped him progress from 26th position, his previous best in the rankings.
