It has been a gala year for Virat Kohli who once again proved to be the best. Virat tops the list of Icc Test Rankings. Cheteswar Pujara`s 123 and 71 were the cornerstone of India`s victory in the 1st Test and raising his rank to number 4 ahead of Joe Root and David Warner. Smityh, still holds the no.3 position which is commendable. Pujara is 55 points behind Smith. Kane Williamson played some flabbergasting innings of 89 and 139 runs in Abu Dhabi last week and was instrumental in bringing the first away series win against Pakistan after 49 years. This helped him gain 37 points and slip Smith to 3rd position gaining a career best 913 points.Kohli lost 20 points to come down to 320 points just 7 points ahead of Williamson. Kohli will need to fire in the next test to retain his number one rank that he is enjoying since the Edgbaston Test agaist England in August.
Among the bowlers Jaspreet Bumrah achived a career best 33rd moving up five places. Thanks to some exclusive bowling show at the Adelaide.Mitchelle Stark moved up two spots to 16th place.
