REUTERS: Australia's run-machine Steve Smith has edged past Indian captain Virat Kohli to become the best test batsman in the world, based on the International Cricket Council's rankings.
Former captain Smith has not held top spot in the rankings since December 2015. In August last year, while Smith was serving a 12-month ban over a ball-tampering scandal, Kohli overtook him in the standings. He followed that up with a 92 at Lord's before being felled by a short ball from England fast bowler Jofra Archer.Australia now boast both the number one test batsman and bowler in the world, with Pat Cummins leading the bowling charts since February.
Kohli's next opportunity to respond will be in a home test series against South Africa starting on Oct. 2.
