in #cricket6 years ago

India captain Virat Kohli on Thursday reclaimed the top spot in the latest ICC Test Rankings after his brilliant show in the third Test against England.

Kohli scored 97 and 103 in the third Test at Nottingham, which India won by 203 runs.

The skipper first earned the pole position after his 149 and 51 in the first Test at Birmingham. However he dropped to second place after India’s defeat at the Lord’s but a stupendous performance has again put him at the top.
