Saurav Ghosal has become the first Indian male squash player to enter the top 10 in the latest PSA world rankings.

Indian women squash players -- Joshna Chinappa and Dipika Pallikal -- had earlier reached top-10 in the world rankings.

Ghosal made it to the quarter-finals of the 2018-2019 PSA World Championships in Chicago, USA for the first time in his career. He was also a quarter-finalist at the prestigious Grasshopper Cup in Zurich, Switzerland.

Riding on his recent performances, Ghosal has moved up two places to a career-high ranking of 10.

Egypt's world champion Ali Farag, meanwhile, maintains his position at the top of the ladder. In the women's rankings, Joshna continued to be the best-ranked Indian, moving up to the 15th position.
