Virat Kohli saw such a day after 10 years! (PC-PTI)
Virat Kohli is considered one of the best batsmen of the current era, but in recent times this player’s stars are on the decline. Virat Kohli has failed miserably in the last two Test series. Virat’s bat didn’t work against either Bangladesh or New Zealand and now the veteran is suffering the consequences of it. In fact, ICC has announced the Test rankings and in this, Virat Kohli has been left out of the list of top 20 batsmen. After 10 years, Virat Kohli has had such a bad day in his career.
Virat Kohli got a big surprise
Virat Kohli has fallen to 22nd spot in the latest ICC Test rankings. Such was the fate of Virat Kohli after his poor performance on the tour of England in 2014. However, the important thing is that Virat Kohli made a wonderful comeback after that and these players are expected to do something similar on the tour of Australia. However, all this is not so easy for Virat Kohli because he is really in very bad form.

Virat Kohli’s recent form is bad
Virat Kohli has played 6 Test matches this year and has only been able to score 250 runs at an average of 22.72. Only half a century has passed from his bat. Last year was fantastic for Virat. He managed to score 671 runs in 8 Tests but his form from 2020 to 2022 was very poor. Virat’s Test average in 2020 was 19.33. His average in 2021 was 28.21. In 2022, this player could only score runs with an average of 26.50. This means that in the last five years, four times Virat’s batting average has been below 30, which is really a cause for concern.
Indian batsmen’s position in ICC Test Rankings
Yashasvi Jaiswal is India’s top batsman in the ICC Test rankings. He is at the number 4 position. Rishabh Pant is ranked sixth. Shubhman Gill is at number 16. While Virat Kohli is at number 22. Rohit Sharma is at number 26.
