Ashwin claimed eight wickets across the two innings in Mumbai, including four of New Zealand's top five to bundle the tourists for 167.

Henry Nicholls was dismissed twice by the off-spinner, who also cleaned up the tail in the first innings, finishing with astonishing figures of 4/8 from eight overs, as India bundled New Zealand for 62.

Ashwin jumps compatriot Jadeja, with only West Indies' Jason Holder in front of him on 382 points.

Unsurprisingly, Ajaz Patel made a big jump in the Test bowling rankings after his historic ten-wicket haul in Mumbai, reaching 38th spot in a jump of 23 places. Rival and namesake Axar Patel also enjoyed a three-place climb.

On the batting side, Indian opener Mayank Agarwal's superb Test match was rewarded with a 30-place spike, with his 712-rating the best of his Test career. Agarwal made 150 and 62 across his two innings in Mumbai.

Elsewhere, Dhananjaya de Silva also enjoyed a 12-place rise to 21st following his unbeaten century in Galle against the West indies. Pathum Nissanka, with two fifties in the second Test match, jumped 38 places.

For the tourists, Kraigg Brathwaite (+10) and Nkrumah Bonner (+17) enjoyed significant jumps in the rankings.
