India captain Virat Kohli has attained the rare feat of crossing the 900-point mark concurrently in both ODI and Test in the latest International Cricket Council (ICC) ODI rankings released on Tuesday.


Kohli has become only the second batsman after South Africa's AB de Villiers to attain the landmark concurrently in both forms of the game. He is also one among only five to have crossed 900 points in both forms of the game as he consolidated his top position with 558 runs in the 5-1 series win over South Africa, during which he clubbed three centuries.

The star batsman is leading the ICC Player Rankings for ODI batsmen with 909 points and is only behind Aussie skipper Steve Smith in the Test batsmen ranking where the India skipper has accumulated 912 points.


Kohli has overtaken Brian Lara in the all-timers' ODI list, having also overtaken him in the all-timers' Test list last month. He is now seventh in the ODI list of all-time rankings that is led by Vivian Richards with 935 points. Kohli's aggregate is the best since Brian Lara reached 911 points in March 1993.


India fast-bowler Jasprit Bumrah has joined Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan at the top of ODI bowlers’ rankings. With 16 wickets in the series against Zimbabwe which Afghanistan won 4-1, Rashid Khan became the youngest to attain top ranking.
