Bajrang, who had entered the championships ranked number one, now has 63 points while Russia's Gadzhimurad Rashidov, who won gold in Nur-Sultan, is at the top spot with 72 points.
In 57-kg category, Ravi Dahiya, who also won the bronze medal in the World Championships, has entered the top-five. He is ranked fifth with 39 points while Rahul Aware's bronze medal has pushed him to the second spot in the 61-kg weight category.
In women's wrestling, Vinesh Phogat, who also bagged a bronze medal in Nur Sultan, has made a move of four places in the rankings in 53-kg category. Vinesh, who also secured the quota for next year's Tokyo Olympics, is now at the second spot with 71 points.
