After India became No. 3 team in One Day Internationals, Virat Kohli and Co. have dipped in the lately released T20I rating. India have slipped from No. 2 to No.4 in the ratings. It seems nothing is going Virat kohli’s way since his shoulder injury. He is the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore and the team is already out of the playoffs race as the tournament is midway through.
The biggest leap was made by England who climbed 3 spots after gaining 7 points but are still four points behind table-topper New Zealand, who are on 125 points despite dropping two points. The Eoin Morgan-led side has got seven points and climbed three places to sit behind table toppers NZ who have 125 points.
