Virat Kohli jumps to second, Steve Smith remains on top in Tests

In an interesting turn of events, India captain Virat Kohli has reclaimed his second spot on the ICC Test Batsman Rankings. Meanwhile, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson slipped one spot thus giving Kohli the edge.

While the most anticipated Border-Gavaskar Test series has just begun, captain Kohli and his lieutenants Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara would be looking to leave no stone unturned against the Aussies. The Australian star batsman, Steve Smith still holds the coveted first spot in the rankings.
