Smith extends lead with Kohli in Test rankings

By Vishal Bhagat September 10, 2019 • 16:20 PM View: 988

Manchester, Sep 10. Australian batter Steve Smith has extended lead with India skipper Virat Kohli at the top spot in ICC Test Player Rankings for batsmen following his monumental effort in the Manchester Test which helped his team to retain the Ashes.

Smith's knocks -- 211 and 82 runs -- in the two innings in the fourth Ashes Test which Australia won by 185 runs against England has lifted him to 937 rating points, only 10 less than his all-time best aggregate achieved in December 2017. He is now 34 points ahead of Kohli and virtually assured of remaining at the top at the end of the five-match series.
