Chanderpaul surges to the top of Test rankings

Dubai: West Indian Shivnarine Chanderpaul replaced Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara at the top of the ICC ranking for Test batsmen, issued on Monday.
Sangakkarra, who surged to the top of the rankings in December last year, could manage just 12 runs in Sri Lanka’s 600-6 declared in the first innings of the first Test and has consequently dropped to second place which he now shares with Australia’s Mike Hussey.
Chanderpaul benefited from Sangakkara’s fall to lead the batting rankings for the first time in his career.
The Guyanese player has been in awesome form and put up a solid show against Australia, South Africa and Sri Lanka.
