R Ashwins career-best match haul of 13 for 140 against New Zealand in the Indore Test has propelled him back to the top of the ICC Test rankings for bowlers. Ashwin had earlier briefly held the position in July, before being overtaken by Dale Steyn and James Anderson.Ashwin picked up 6 for 81 in the first innings and followed it up with 7 for 59 to achieve a career-best rating of 900 points. He joined an elite club of bowlers to have attained 900 ratings points since 2000; Muttiah Muralitharan, Glenn McGrath, Vernon Philander, Dale Steyn and Shaun Pollock being the others.Ashwin is now trailed by Steyn, with 878 points, and Anderson on 870. While Steyns next Test will be in Australia starting November 3, Anderson is aiming to be fit for the India tour, as he is missing the Bangladesh Tests. Ashwin has a good chance to retain the top spot until the end of the year, with India in the midst of a lengthy home season. If he does so, it will mark the second year in succession that Ashwin closes out the calendar year as the No. 1-ranked Test bowler. Ashwin also leads the allrounders table, while team-mate Ravindra Jadeja surged to a career-best third, joint Moeen Ali.Among batsmen, Ajinkya Rahanes innings of 188 and 23 not out in Indore helped him rise to a career-best sixth position, making him the only Indian batsman in the top 10.

NEW YORK -- Chicago Blackhawks defenceman Duncan Keith was suspended for Game 4 of the Western Conference final for high-sticking Los Angeles Kings forward Jeff Carter in the face in Game 3 Tuesday. "This is more serious than a case of a player simply having to be responsible for his stick," NHL senior vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan said in announcing the suspension Wednesday. "It is not an accidental high-stick, nor is it a defensive high-stick to an opponent. This is a retaliatory high-stick to an opponent that causes an injury." Keith played a team-high 26:47 in the Game 3 loss that cut Chicagos series lead to 2-1. The 29-year-old -- called "a repeat offender" by Shanahan -- wont be available for Thursdays game at Staples Center in Los Angeles, forcing coach Joel Quenneville to make a change. Asked earlier Wednesday what he would do if Keith were suspended, Quenneville didnt want to go there. "Dunks is important in all areas," Quenneville said during his off-day press conference in Beverly Hills, Calif. "We talk about special teams, you talk about big minutes, you talk about how we defend, get activated onn the back end.dddddddddddd His leadership, his compete level. Hes everything you want in a defenceman." If Sheldon Brookbank gets the call to replace Keith, it would be his first game since April 27. In the second period of Game 3, Carter slashed Keith on his glove-less hand behind the play. Keith retaliated by lifting his stick up on Carter. He was given a double-minor penalty and said after the game it was accidental. "Although Keith asserts that he did not intend to hit Carter in the face or hit him with such force, he does admit to intentionally swinging his stick at Carter as Carter is skating away from him," Shanahan said. "It should also be noted that even if Carter did indeed chop down on top of Keiths hand, that still does not justify the extend of Keiths actions." Carter returned soon after. Asked how Carter was doing the day after the incident, Kings coach Darryl Sutter said: "Awesome. I wish I was Jeff Carter today." Carter led the Western Conference with 26 goals during the regular season. His mid-season arrival from Columbus last year was a factor in the Kings improbable surge to their first Stanley Cup title.
