Kohli got a huge shock, had to see this day in Test after 10 years
Virat Kohli ICC Test Rankings: Although Virat Kohli is one of the best batsmen in the world at the moment, his bat is sulking at the moment. Kohli is not scoring runs. However, now he has announced his retirement from T20 International, which means now his entire focus is only on Tests and ODIs. Team India is not playing ODI at the moment, but test matches are going on. The World Test Championship continues, in which Team India has lagged behind New Zealand by losing three consecutive matches. Meanwhile, former Team India captain Virat Kohli has suffered a big shock. The day which he has not seen in Test for the last 10 years has finally arrived today. We are talking about the Test rankings released by ICC.
Virat Kohli’s ICC ranking declines
After the India vs New Zealand Test series, a new test ranking has been released by the ICC. In this, Virat Kohli is out of the top 20. He was out of the top 10, but now being out of the top 20 shows that Kohli is out of form at the moment. Virat Kohli has lost 8 places in the ranking this time. He has now moved to number 22. However, the interesting thing is that till the Bangladesh series, Kohli was in the top 10, but after Bangladesh, he could not score runs even in the New Zealand series and now the result is in front of us.
Kohli’s last few performances have been like this
The Indian team first played two Tests against Bangladesh at home, in which it won, although Kohli was not able to score runs there either. After this, when the New Zealand team came to India, this time everything was wiped out. Virat Kohli has scored only 192 runs in his last 10 innings. His average has been 21.33. You expect much better than this from a batsman like Kohli. This also happens to an average bowler who gets a chance to bat for a short time.
Now Kohli faces Australia’s challenge
Now the biggest challenge before Kohli is how he performs against Australia. The five-Test Border Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is going to start from November 22, in whose team Kohli is also included. Although the Australian team has always been Kohli’s favorite, but this time, it will be interesting to see how Kohli, who is struggling with poor form, will score runs there. Let us tell you an interesting thing. This has happened after 3617 days, when Kohli is not in the top 10 in the ICC Test rankings. If we add these days to the year then it will be approximately 9 years and 9 months. That means, let’s say about ten years. If Kohli has to make a comeback not only in the top 10 but also in the top 20, then he will have to play at least two big innings in the Test against Australia, only then things will be resolved.
