Following a superlative show with the bat in the third Test against England, Virat Kohli has reclaimed the No.1 spot on the ICC rankings charts that he lost to Steve Smith after India's defeat at Lord's in the second Test.

The Indian captain notched up scores of 97 and 103 in the two innings at Trent Bridge which helped India record a massive 203-run win over the hosts. His feats have taken him to 937 rating points, the highest he’s reached so far in his career.

He is now just one point shy of breaking into the all-time list. The current top ten include Don Bradman (961 points), Steven Smith (947), Len Hutton (945), Jack Hobbs and Ricky Ponting (both on 942), Peter May (941), and Gary Sobers, Clyde Walcott, Vivian Richards and Kumar Sangakkara (all on 938 points).
