Kohli has been rewarded for his gallantry against Pakistan in the first match of India’s T20 World Cup against arch-rivals Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground last Sunday.
Kohli scored an unbeaten 82 to give India a memorable last-ball victory, an innings that propelled the former India captain into the top 10 in the list of T20I batsmen.
The 33-year-old hit six fours and four sixes during his scintillating innings.
Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan (849 rating points) is in the top spot, with New Zealand opener Devon Conway (831) gaining three places to replace Suryakumar Yadav from the second spot.
Conway played an unbeaten 92 off 58 balls as New Zealand beat defending champions Australia by 89 runs in their opening match.
With 828 rating points in his kitty, Suryakumar dropped to third place, but was ahead of Pakistan captain Babar Azam (799) and South Africa’s Aiden Markram (762).
New Zealand’s Finn Allen also went ahead thanks to his swashbuckling 16-ball 42 against Australia, which helped him jump 17 places to 13th.
