Virat Kohli ICC Ranking: Just before the Rajkot ODI, Virat Kohli became the number 1 ODI batsman. After this news, lakhs of his fans became very happy. Everyone praised Virat Kohli on social media but let us tell you that this player's ODI ranking is now in danger. The reason for this is Virat Kohli's failure in Rajkot. Virat Kohli could score only 23 runs in Rajkot ODI. As a result, now they may have to suffer the consequences, let us tell you how.
Threat to Virat Kohli's ranking
Virat Kohli has reached the number 1 position in the ICC ODI rankings with 785 rating points, but the alarming thing is that New Zealand player Darrell Mitchell is right behind him at the second position.
The interesting thing is that Mitchell's rating point is only one less than him. Meaning now Mitchell can defeat him. If reports are to be believed, if Darrell Mitchell scores just 25 runs in Rajkot ODI, he will surpass Virat Kohli. Looking at the form Mitchell is in, it seems that he will give a tough challenge to Virat. By the way, before the next ICC ranking, the third ODI will also be held and the one who scores the most runs in this series will remain the number 1 ODI batsman. Now it remains to be seen whether he is Virat or Mitchell.Virat was out after playing a bad shot
Virat Kohli was out after playing a very bad shot in Rajkot ODI. He tried to play the incoming ball of Kristin Clark towards third man and the result was that the ball took the inside edge of his bat and entered the wicket. However, before getting out, Virat broke Sachin Tendulkar's record of scoring the most ODI runs against New Zealand. Virat has now become the player who has scored the most ODI runs against New Zealand.
