Cape Town - Proteas fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has moved up to No 2 in the latest ICC Test bowler rankings.
Rabada swapped places with India's Ravindra Jadeja after the completion of the third and final Test between India and Sri Lanka in New Delhi, which ended in a draw.
Meanwhile, Dale Steyn dropped two places to slot in at No 10.
Steyn, who has returned to competitive action for the Titans, is set to make his international comeback against Zimbabwe in the historic day/night 4-day Boxing Day Test in Port Elizabeth.
