Dubai, Feb 19 (IANS) Indian opener Virender Sehwag dislodged his batting partner Gautam Gambhir from the top of the International Cricket Council’s Test rankings for batsmen to take the number one spot.

Sehwag, who struck back-to-back centuries in the just concluded two-match Test series against South Africa, jumped five places for the No.1 position. Sehwag shot up 52 rating points.

Gambhir’s lacklustre form in the series against South Africa saw him drop four places to fifth position.

Another big mover was Hashim Amla, who climbed eight places to occupy the second position. Amla had a phenomenal series against India, scoring 490 runs with two centuries and one double-hundred and getting out only once. The South African middle order batsman, who was the man of the series, is 21 rating points behind Sehwag.

Sri Lankan Mahela Jayawerdena and Kumar Sangakkara were pushed to third and fourth places.

In the bowling charts, Harbhajan Singh after his spectacular performance in the second Test at Eden Garden, where he claimed eight wickets, jumped five places to seventh position.

South African Dale Steyn maintained his top position with a stellar show in the first Test in Nagpur where he got 10 wickets.

Australian Mitchell Johnson and Pakistan’s Mohammad Asif are placed second and third.

India’s Zaheer Khan remained at sixth position.

Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar unveiled his wax statue in Mumbai. The statue will be featured in the famous Madame Tussauds museum in London on April 23. Sachin Tendulkar became the first Indian sportsperson, whose wax statue will get a place at Madame Tussauds. Earlier, wax statues of Bollywood actors Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aiswharya Rai and Salman Khan were inducted into the Madame Tussauds.

Sachin Tendulkar, who made his international debut against Pakistan in 1989, has an illustrious 20-year-long cricket career, which still continues. Sachin still rules the roost both in Test and ODIs and no other batsman in the world has achieved what he has done so far.

Sachin has scored 12,773 runs in 158 Tests at an average of 54.58, He has hit 42 centuries in test matches. Similarly, Sachin has played 425 ODIs and scored 16,684 Runs at an average of 44.37.

His milestones in cricket are beyond the imagination of an author.
