Virat Kohli goes down to third position in the latest ICC T20I rankings

Virat Kohli has slipped up in the latest T20I rankings, that were released earlier today.

Kohli has not been in action since the test series against Sri Lanka, as the Indian skipper took a month long break to rejuvenate himself for the upcoming series against South Africa.

In Kohli’s absence, Rohit Sharma led the side admirably as India beat Sri Lanka in the ODI and T20I series. Rohit was sensational, as he scored a double hundred in the second ODI and then equaled the fastest century in T20Is.

MS Dhoni and Shikhar Dhawan find themselves on the 34th and 50th spot respectively.
