Virat Kohli is considered one of the best batsmen of the present era but in recent times, this player's stars are in decline. Virat Kohli has failed miserably in the last two test series. Virat's bat did not work against both Bangladesh and then New Zealand and now the veteran is suffering the consequences of this. Actually, ICC has announced the Test rankings and in this, Virat Kohli has been out of the list of top 20 batsmen. After a long time of 10 years, Virat Kohli has seen such a bad day in his career.

Virat Kohli got a big shock

Virat Kohli has fallen to number 22 in the latest ICC Test rankings. Such was the fate of Virat Kohli after his poor performance in the England tour in 2014. However, the big thing is that Virat Kohli made a wonderful comeback after that and it is expected that these players will do something similar in the Australia tour. 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 he has been able to score only 250 runs at an average of 22.72. Only one half-century has come from his bat. Last year was great for Virat. He managed to score 671 runs in 8 tests but his form from 2020 to 2022 was very bad. Virat's test average in 2020 was 19.33. His average in 2021 was 28.21. In 2022, this player was able to score runs only at an average of 26.50. This means that out of the last five years, four times Virat's batting average has been less than 30, which is really a matter of concern.

Position of Indian batsmen in ICC Test rankings

Yashasvi Jaiswal is India's top batsman in the ICC Test rankings. He is at number 4 position. Rishabh Pant is in sixth place. Shubhman Gill is at number 16. Whereas Virat Kohli is at 22nd place. Rohit Sharma is at number 26.
