Indian skipper and swashbuckling batsman Virat Kohli has dropped to the third spot with England captain Joe Root replacing him in the second position in the latest Test batsmen rankings released by the International Cricket Council (ICC), yesterday. Kohli struggled to make runs just like his teammates during his side's 72-run defeat against South Africa in the opening Test in Cape Town. He dropped 13 points after managing just five and 28 runs in the two innings. Australia's Steve Smith is unchanged on 947 points in first position.
