Kohli with a golden opportunity to overtake Steve Smith in Test rankings

England & India Net Sessions

Indian captain Virat Kohli has a golden chance to overtake Australia's Steve Smith on ICC Test batsmen rankings. The Australian batsman is currently serving a 12-month ban from the sport which he was handed in the aftermath of the Sandpaper Gate incident.

Kohli, on the other hand, is set to lead India in a five-Test series against England. He will have a task at his hand, however, as he had found the going tough when he toured England last, in 2014.

Smith, with 929 points, sits pretty at the top of the rankings, followed by Kohli who has 903 points. Kohli's counterpart in the upcoming Test series, Joe Root is third on the list with 855 points.
