Rohit Sharma, who scored 57 in the series opener, maintained his top spot in the rankings, extending his lead over New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell.
Kohli was in stunning form in Ranchi as he scored 135 off 120 balls to help India secure a 17-run win. He put on a 136-run stand with Rohit, which ensured that the hosts scored 349 runs in their 50 overs. With the knock, the 37-year-old jumped to the 4th spot with 751 rating points and went past Gill, who has 738 to his name. Kohli is now 32 points off Rohit, who has 783 to his name.
