Virat Kohli is back in the top ten for T20I batters in the ICC rankings after guiding India to a thrilling win in the Super 12 matchagainst Pakistan T20 World Cup.
Kohli’s unbeaten 53-ball 82 at the MCG has taken him five places up to No. 9.

Rizwan currently has 849 rating points, 18 more than Conway.
