Virat Kohli sets new record in ICC rankings

New Delhi, February 20: India skipper Virat Kohli has been breaking so frequently that we have lost the count.

In the latest such instance, Kohli has received the highest batting ratings for ODIs in the ICC rankings and he sits on top with 909 points - the highest for any player in the last 27 years.

Interestingly, Kohli is the only batsman to find a place in the top 3 slots across all formats.

While he sits on the top position in ODIs, he is second in the Test rankings behind Australia's Steve Smith (947) with 912 points. In T20Is, Kohli is third behind Babar Azam (786) and Aaron Finch (784) with 776 points.

Kohli's rating as per the latest rankings is the highest of any player since Australia's Dean Jones in 1991.

Vivian Richards (935 in 1985), Zaheer Abbas (931 in 1983), Greg Chappell (921 in 1981), David Gower (919 in 1983) and Javed Miandad (910 in 1987) have received a higher rating than Kohli. He is the first Indian player to go into the 900 points mark.
