Virat Kohli Kohli reclaims top spot in ODI Rankings
India captain Virat Kohli surpassed AB de Villiers and David Warner to reclaim the top spot in the ICC rankings for ODI batsmen.
Unbeaten knocks of 81 and 76 against Pakistan and South Africa in the ongoing Champions Trophy helped Kohli overtake Warner and de Villers, who had climbed to No.1 in March this year.
Kohli, who had briefly held the No. 1 ranking in January, has a one-point lead over Warner.
India opener Shikhar Dhawan, who is the leading run-getter in the Champions Trophy so far, leapfrogged five of his peers to return to the top ten. Dhawan scored 271 runs in three innings during the league stage of the tournament, with two fifties and a century.
Virat Kohli has become better at making moves in the middle as well. He brought R Ashwin to bowl as early as the 10th over sensing South Africa were itching to accelerate and the moment they tried, it resulted in a wicket.
But it was India's fast bowlers who made the biggest difference on Sunday. Regardless of the conditions - and despite being surprised by them - they have worked hard to follow the lines Kumble has drawn.
