The star all-rounder has also moved up three slots to a career-best 14th position among bowlers after his match haul of 10 for 153 at Mirpur.
His fellow spinners Mehedi Hasan (up three places to 30th) and Taijul Islam (up four places to 32nd) have also moved up after finishing the match with five and four wickets, respectively.
Opener Tamim Iqbal's two innings of 71 and 78 have lifted him six places to a career-best 14th position in the rankings for Test batsmen.
West Indies' Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope have also attained career-best positions in the rankings for Test batsmen after their splendid performances in Leeds helped the Windies complete a series-levelling win against England.
