The left-arm fast paceman is the first Proteas bowler to occupy the top spot since Kagiso Rabada in November 2024 and the first from his country to become the top-ranked Test all-rounder since Vernon Philander in August 2014.

Others to move up the Test rankings include Australia fast bowler Scott Boland, who is up three places to sixth position for a haul of five for 81 while South Africa's Wiaan Mulder is up 10 places to 43rd after finishing with five wickets across the two innings.
