T20 World Cup: Virat Kohli breaks into Top 10 in ICC Rankings after epic knock against Pakistan

India's Virat Kohli has broken into the Top 10 of the ICC rankings for batters in T20Is.

Kohli, who was ranked 15th last week, is now 9th in the rankings. His jump of 6 places came after his epic innings of 82* against Pakistan in their T20 World Cup opener, a knock that sealed an incredible turnaround for the Men in Blue at the MCG.

The senior Indian batter has had an incredible couple of months, highlighted by the fact that he was ranked 35 before the Asia Cup.
