Smith topples Kohli, becomes No. 1 Test batsman again

Australia's batsman Steve Smith has regained the number one spot in the ICC Test batting rankings, reports BBC Sport.

Smith has overtaken Virat Kohli after the India captain suffered a second-innings golden duck during their 257-run win over West Indies in the second Test in Jamaica.

The Australia batsman will return to the line-up for the fourth Ashes Test, beginning at Old Trafford on Wednesday, after recovering from concussion.

In his three innings so far during the Ashes, Smith has scored 378 runs.

Kohli has slipped one point behind Smith into second place despite captaining India to a 2-0 series victory in the West Indies.
