LONDON: India captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday reclaimed the top spot in the latest ICC ODI rankings for batsmen following the conclusion of the last round of league matches in the Champions Trophy.
Kohli had entered the tournament 22 points behind number-one ranked AB de Villiers of South Africa, who had been No.1 since 25 February this year, and 19 points behind Australia’s David Warner.
But with brilliant knocks of 81 not out against Pakistan and 76 not out against South Africa, Kohli leapfrogged de Villiers and Warner into the number one spot.
Kohli had enjoyed just four days at the top in January 2017.
Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan has continued his love- affair with the Champions Trophy by returning into the top 10.
