Virat Kohli rises to 16th spot in ICC test rankings

December 14, 2014 15:04

Indian batsman Virat Kohli today broke into the top-20 of ICC Test rankings at 16th after his stupendous back-to-back hundreds in the opening cricket Test against Australia in Adelaide. Kohli, whose twin hundreds went in vain as India lost the match by 48 runs yesterday, rose 11 rungs to make the top-20 with 703 points and be the highest-ranked Indian batsman in the list. Cheteshwar Pujara is the next best Indian at 18th after dropping a rung.

But among the bowlers, Ishant Sharma fell out of the top-20 and is now placed 21st after going down a couple of spots.
