Fast bowler Tim Southee is another one to gain from the team, his eight wickets in the match helping gain four slots to reach 11<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;position.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_5082192168201098862m_6394638606972751596MsoNoSpacing\">For Sri Lanka, former captain Angelo Mathews (83 and 120 not out) and Kusal Mendis (141 not out) have been rewarded after their match-saving efforts. Mathews has gained eight slots to reach 16<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;place while Mendis has moved up two slots to take 18<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;position. Among their bowlers, Lahiru Kumara has gained five slots to reach 43<sup>rd<\/sup>place after finishing with four wickets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_5082192168201098862m_6394638606972751596MsoNoSpacing\">There were more movements owing to performances in Perth with man of the match Nathan Lyon\u2019s eight wickets helping grab a career-best seventh place, a position he had also previously attained in October last year. Josh Hazlewood (up two places to ninth) and Mitchell Starc (up one place to 15<sup>th<\/sup>) are the other Australia bowlers to move up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_5082192168201098862m_6394638606972751596MsoNoSpacing\">Among their batsmen, Usman Khawaja (up one place to 12<sup>th<\/sup>), captain Tim Paine (up nine places to 46<sup>th<\/sup>) and Travis Head (up 16 places to 63<sup>rd<\/sup>) are the ones to move up the ladder after useful contributions against the world\u2019s top-ranked Test side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_5082192168201098862m_6394638606972751596MsoNoSpacing\">For India, apart from Kohli, vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane (up two places to 15<sup>th<\/sup>) and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant (up 11 places to a career-best 48<sup>th<\/sup>) have also moved up among batsmen while fast bowlers Mohammad Shami (up two places to 24<sup>th<\/sup>) and Jasprit Bumrah (up five places to a career-best 28<sup>th<\/sup>) have advanced in the list for bowlers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_5082192168201098862m_6394638606972751596MsoNoSpacing\"><b>MRF Tyres ICC Test Player Rankings (as on 20 December, following the conclusion of the Perth and Wellington Tests):<\/b>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_5082192168201098862m_6394638606972751596MsoNoSpacing\"><b>BATSMEN (top 20)<\/b>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_5082192168201098862m_6394638606972751596MsoNoSpacing\"><b>Rank&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (+\/-)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Player&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Team&nbsp;&nbsp; Points&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Ave&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Highest Rating<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_5082192168201098862m_6394638606972751596MsoNoSpacing\">&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ( &#8211; )&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Virat Kohli&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ind&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 934&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 54.23&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 937 v Eng at Southampton 2018<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_5082192168201098862m_6394638606972751596MsoNoSpacing\">&nbsp;&nbsp;2 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ( &#8211; )&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kane Williamson&nbsp; NZ&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 915!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 51.91&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 915 v SL at Wellington 2018<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_5082192168201098862m_6394638606972751596MsoNoSpacing\">&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ( &#8211; )&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Steve Smith&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Aus&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 892&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 61.37&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 947 v SA at Durban 2018<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_5082192168201098862m_6394638606972751596MsoNoSpacing\">&nbsp;&nbsp; 4 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ( &#8211; )&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; C.
