ICC T20I Rankings: Virat Kohli climbs to No.5, KL Rahul slips after poor form vs England

Virat Kohli surpassed South African Rassie van der Dussen on the rankings list to grab the 5th spot with 744 points.

Virat Kohli reclaimed the No.5 spot in the ICC T20I rankings for batsmen after two stunning innings against England in the ongoing 5-match series. Kohli had been dismissed for 0 in the first match on March 12 but followed that up with scores of 73 not out and 77 not out. However, KL Rahul, who has scores of 1, 0 and 0 in the T20I series so far, slipped to No.4 from No.3. Rahul was in top form in the T20I series against New Zealand in early 2020 and was named Man-of-the-Series. In December, KL Rahul made 51 and 30 in the first two T20Is in Australia before running into really bad form. He now has 3 ducks in his last 4 T20I innings.
