Indian batting maestro, Virat Kohli, also had his best Test rating point of 937, which he achieved against England in 2018 during the English summer. With his century against Bangladesh in the inconsequential third ODI, Kohli has also witnessed a jump of two places in the ICC ODI Batters Rankings.

Labuschagne dethroned England's Joe Root from the top earlier this month and the 28-year-old has moved further ahead at the top of the list for Test batters following an outstanding series against the West Indies.
