Before the test series against Sri Lanka started, Tendulkar was positioned in 13th spot but his low average performance against Sri Lanka takes him down in test ranking. Indian attacking opener Virender Sehwag is once again back in top 10 batsmen for test cricket after March 2006. Sri Lankan wicket batsman Kumar Sangakarra brilliant performance against India has taken him to number 2 spot and he is just behind the Caribbean batsman Shivnaraine Chandrepaul.
