Virat Kohli slipped to third position in ICC Test batsman list

India Cricket : Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli became parents to a baby girl on January 11.

Became a father. Floating in the tide of happiness as usual. But on the one hand, when the new innings of life began, on the other hand, the news of concern to Virat Kohli was that he dropped to number three in the ICC's list of best Test batsmen.

Steve Smith replaced him. His Australian opponent is at number 2 with 900 points. Smith has scored 131 and 61 in the Sydney Test. In the latest list, Kohli has 870 points. At the top is New Zealand captain Ken Williamson. His number of points is 919.

Virat has returned from the current India-Australia series after the first Test to be with his wife Anushka Sharma. Yesterday, a beautiful baby girl came to light their house. Indian team forces avoided defeat by fighting like heroes in Sydney and keeping the match drawn.

Probably, due to his absence from cricket, Virat fell behind a bit. Williamson made it to the number one, with an epic 238 in the second Test against Pakistan in Christchurch.This is the best rating of any New Zealand batsman.

Another good news for Indian cricket is that Cheteshwar Pujara has risen to eight. He made 50, 77 in the Sydney Test. He is right behind Captain Rahane. Ajinkya Rahane is one step down to seven. Rishabh Pant has risen 19 places to 28th position with 38 and 97 runs respectively in this Test.

Hanuma Bihari was at number 52. Ravichandran Ashwin in 69th place. Both have come up after playing a fighting innings. Shubhaman Gill has also risen above number 69.

Off-spinner Ashwin has slipped two places to 9th position in the bowlers' rankings. Yashpreet Bumra is at number ten after him. There is no other Indian in the list of top ten bowlers. Pat Cummins holds the number one spot in the bowlers' list. Then there are Stuart Broad and Neil Wagner, respectively.
