Indian Skipper Virat Kohli is slipping in the ICC test ranking of the batsman after every updation. It has been more than a year a century was scored from his bat. The top-notch batsman now finds him in the bottom of "Fab four" in fact he now stands on the fifth rank just above the immensely talented Pakistani batsman Babar Azam.
However Virat Kohli also scored 73 in the second innings against England before being castled by Ben stokes but he could not catch up to Joe Root, whose double century helped him leapfrogged in the rankings. Kohli's ranking would have been worse had Babar Azam got 2 decent scores vs South Africa in the recently concluded test series. Thanks to Keshav Maharaj who got him leg before wicket thrice. (WD)
