Ashwin's highest rating was 904, achieved in December 2016.
The 907 ranking points also placed Bumrah as joint-17th in the all-time list with Derek Underwood of England.
Ahead of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne last week, Bumrah had equalled the record (904) held by Ashwin in the ranking for bowlers.
However, another superb performance at the MCG, where he got nine wickets, albeit in a losing cause, helped him consolidate his lead as the No. 1 Test bowler in the recent update.
Australia skipper Pat Cummins earned 15 rating points following his six wickets at MCG to jump a place to No. 3.
He also secured a third place in the Test all-rounder rankings after he notched up 90 vital runs across two innings during Australia's 184-run win in the fourth Test.
