The Indian stalwart, Virat Kohli has taken a leap of 14 positions to No.15 in the latest T20I rankings for batters after scoring his maiden T20I century against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup 2022 match at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Ahead of the tournament, Virat was standing at 29th place following his dip in form over the last few months.

However, the 33-year-old regained his form after finishing as the second-highest run-getter in the Asia Cup after Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan. Apart from his century against the Afghans, Kohli also managed to score the fifties against Nizakat Khan’s Hong Kong and Babar Azam’s Pakistan.
