TIL Desk Sports/ Placed eighth in the International Cricket Council’s T20 batting charts, captain Virat Kohli will look to improve his and Team India’s rankings in the upcoming series against Ireland and England. India are placed third in the team rankings with 123 points, while their skipper Kohli has so far accumulated 670 points with his batting exploits.
India have the potential of reaching 127 points by winning their five matches — two against Ireland and three against England. On the other hand, England could go up to 126 points if they beat Australia and then defeat India 3-0.India or England could reach the top spot if Zimbabwe are able to pull off a couple of upsets in the tri-series and depending on other results, Australia and Pakistan could be restricted to below those numbers.
Top-ranked Pakistan, second-ranked Australia and third-ranked India will all be seen in action in upcoming matches as the uppermost tiers of the T20I team rankings have the potential to change over the next two weeks. Pakistan, who lead the table with 131 points, will be the favourites in the upcoming Zimbabwe tri-series to be played in Harare from July 1 to 8, but the presence of Australia in the competition spices up the contest as they are only five points behind Pakistan and with a good chance to overtake them.
