Kohli, who did not even feature in the top of the Tets rankings before the Vizag Test, scored 167 and 81 that helped him earn a huge leap in the standing.

 

According to the ICC release, India fast bowler Mohammad Shami has gained five places to reach a career-high No. 21 and left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja has moved up one position to No. 6 in the ICC Test bowlers rankings that is led by Ravichandran Ashwin.
