Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma suffer drop in rankings

The Indian batting line-up went through a major drop in the latest ICC rankings in Tests before the start of the fourth Test against Australia to be held from December 26 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill have gone down.

Jaiswal, who went to No.2 in the Test rankings after the Perth Test, dropped one place to No.5. Pant, who is going through a



rough patch of form, went two places down to No.11 in the rankings. Gill has slipped to No.20 after losing four places.

Kohli also dropped a place down to No.21. For skipper Rohit, it’s going from bad to worse after he lost five places and is currently placed at No.35 in the Test rankings. The Indian captain is under fire as he has lost four of his last five Tests, including a series whitewash against New Zealand.
