Dubai, Dec 4: India skipper Virat Kohli is back at the top of the batsmen's list in the ICC Rankings for Test batsmen as Australia's Steve Smith slipped behind him in the latest update released on Wednesday.

Kohli, who had struck a fine 136 in the Day-Night Kolkata Test against Bangladesh last week to reach 928 points, is now five points clear as Smith's knock of 36 in the Adelaide Test against Pakistan saw him slip to 923 points from 931 before the match.
