Kohli loses top spot in ODI rankings

Dubai: Virat Kohli’s decision to skip the recently concluded three-match series against Bangladesh has seen him lose the number one spot to South Africa’s A B de Villiers in the latest ICC ODI rankings issued. Kohli was leading de Villiers by nine ratings points in the natting chart, but since a player loses one per cent of his rating for missing every match the Indian batsman has dropped a total of 13 points to now trail the South African stroke-maker by four ratings points.
