By Sahil Mathur February 10, 2021 • 14:16 PM View: 2947

England captain Joe Root’s match-winning 218 in the first Test against India has helped him advance two places to third position in the ICC test rankings. He has overtaken counterpart Virat Kohli in the process. Kohli has slipped one place and is now 5th in the rankings.

Root, who helped his team to a memorable 227-run victory in Chennai that kept England in contention for the ICC World Test Championship final, has reached 883 rating points, his highest since September 2017, after a fabulous run in the sub-continent has seen him accumulate 684 runs in three Tests, two of which were in Sri Lanka.
