ICC Test Rankings: Virat Kohli drops out of top-10 , Rishabh Pant storms to No.5

India star Virat Kohli dropped three places to 13th in the batting rankings after a string of poor performances, while wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant stormed to No.5 after Edgbaston heroics, in the latest ICC Test rankings announced on Wednesday.

Kohli only managed scores of 11 and 20 against England, whereas Pant helped put India on top early in the Test against England with 146 runs off just 111 balls in the first innings, then followed up with 57 later in the



match.

Pant’s recent form with two tons and three half-centuries in his past six Test innings has earned him the highest-ever position in the Test batting rankings, moving six places to fifth.

Joe Root continues to hail supreme at the top of the rankings and an unbeaten century (142*) in England's record chase at Edgbaston sees him attain his highest rating points (923).

It also puts the former England captain in the elite list of top 20 highest-rated batters in ICC Rankings history.
