Kohli leads, Williamson and Pujara follow suit
Kohli, who last featured in India's 2-1 Test series win against Australia in 2018-19, stays atop the list with 922 points.

Cheteshwar Pujara is third with a tally of 881.
Meanwhile, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is second (913).

He is above James Anderson and Kagiso Rabada.
Ashes 2019
Cummins and Anderson could liven things up in Ashes
Cummins will be in action for Australia in the upcoming Ashes 2019 starting August 1.
He has a strong chance of keeping his place intact.
Meanwhile, Anderson sustained a calf injury ahead of the one-off Test against Ireland.
He will look to get fit in a week's time ahead of the Ashes.
There will be a strong fight for between these two.
Team Rankings
India stay ahead, focus on Australia and England
