Brook crowned New No 1 Test batter  as Root relinquishes top spot

Dubai, Dec 11 (UNI) Joe Root's reign as the best player in the world is over as rising England star Harry Brook confirmed his climb to the top by claiming the No.1 spot for the first time on the latest ICC Men's Test Batter Rankings.
Brook overtakes Root to snatch the premier Test batter ranking on the back of his eighth Test century against New Zealand in Wellington last week, with the England right-hander now holding on to a narrow one-point advantage over his more experienced teammate at the top of the rankings list.
The rise of Brook to a total of 898 rating points is just one more than Root's current haul of 897 and sees the 25-year-old join India great Sachin Tendulkar with the equal 34th highest rating of all time
