Virat Kohli is currently enjoying a break from top level cricket. He last featured in an ODI series against Sri Lanka and is now enjoying some quality time with his family. Kohli has served Indian cricket for close to two decades now and is considered one of the greatest ever batters. His journey to the top began with the 2008 U-19 World Cup. Like Virat Kohli, another young top-order batter Shubman Gill started his journey with the U-19 World Cup - the 2018 edition.
Senior India batter Virat Kohli moved up two rungs to eighth place while his captain Rohit Sharma dropped a spot to sixth in the latest ICC Test rankings released on Wednesday. Joining Rohit and Kohli in the top 10 is young Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has moved up a spot to seventh. Veteran England batter Joe Root maintained his place as the top ranked Test batter in the world following their success in the opening Test against Sri Lanka in Manchester. But Root's teammate Harry Brook has made a massive jump on the back of scores of 56 and 32 during that Old Trafford contest.
Uncapped English fast bowler Josh Hull will replace Mark Wood in the remaining two Test matches of the series against Sri Lanka after the 34-year-old suffered a right thigh muscle strain while bowling in the second innings of the Manchester Test, according to the ICC. Hull is a left-arm seamer, who recently featured in the England Lions fixture against Sri Lanka, and picked up five wickets at an average of 14.8. Wood had an exceptional start to his spell in the second inning, getting the wicket of Dimuth Karunaratne off his first ball, but pulled out of his run-up in the 56th over, and left the field.
Fast bowler Olly Stone will replace the injured Mark Wood in the England team to play Sri Lanka in the second test at Lord's, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Tuesday.
