New Delhi: The captain and veteran batsman of the Indian team occupies the position of number one batsman in the Test rankings. But their rankings are in danger. He is threatened by Australian batsman Steve Smith. Smith has risen from number 4 to number 2 in the latest Test rankings released by the ICC. Virat Kohli remains at number 1 in the ICC Test rankings with 910 rating points, while Steve Smith is second with 904 rating points.

Steve Smith, who returned after a year in the ball tempering case, has made the gap between Kohli and himself very soon. Smith has now become a threat to Kohli and there is a possibility that he may soon take the number one batsman's crown from Virat Kohli. Smith is just 6 points behind Kohli in the ICC Test batsmen rankings. Talking about Virat Kohli, he has so far scored 136 runs in the Test series against the West Indies. Kohli scored 9 and 51 runs in the Antiga Test.

He then scored 76 runs in the first innings of the second Test match released in Jamaica. Two consecutive half-centuries may prove helpful to retain Kohli's No. 1 ranking, but if Smith's superb performance continues, he could push Kohli to number two. Kohli will now get one more innings in the Jamaica Test. At the same time, Steve Smith has two more Test matches to play in the Ashes series.
