It was costly for Virat Kohli to take a break from Team India, now this big danger is looming over his head

Virat Kohli is on break these days. Away from Team India. He has not played a single test yet in the series against England. And, you all know the reason. Virat Kohli is away from Team India because he has taken leave due to the birth of his second child. However, now taking this break has become costly for Virat Kohli. Not only this, but a big danger also seems to be looming over his head. Now you will think whether Virat is in danger? So yes, it's exactly the same.

However, before talking about the danger looming over Virat Kohli, it is important to talk about the loss suffered by him due to taking a break from Team India. If you are wondering why it cost Virat so much, then let us tell you that he has suffered a loss in the ICC Test rankings for batsmen.

Virat Kohli's break from cricket proved costly!

ICC has released the rankings of Test batsmen, in which Virat Kohli has lost 2 places. In the latest Test rankings, Virat Kohli has slipped from 7th to 9th place. Virat Kohli has 744 rating points.

New Zealand's Kane Williamson, who became a father for the third time, is at first place in the latest ICC rankings for Test batsmen with 893 rating points. Australia's Steve Smith has 818 points and is in second place. England's Joe Root is in third place with 799 rating points. Meaning, out of the top 4 batsmen of modern cricket, only Virat Kohli is out of the top 5. The remaining 3 have occupied the top 3 positions.

Now this danger is looming over Virat!

Now coming to the danger that Virat Kohli may have to face. This danger is related to his being out of the top 10 in the ICC Test batsmen's rankings. If Virat does not make a comeback in the last Test against England in Dharamsala, then it is very possible that he may be out of the list of top 10 batsmen. And, if this happens, then the only Indian included in the top 10 batsmen of ICC Test rankings will also not be seen.
