    "editor1": "<p>Nov.21 (CRICKETNMORE) -&nbsp;India captain Virat Kohli has edged Warner to take fifth position after completing his 50th international century in the first match of a three-Test series against Sri Lanka in Kolkata, which ended in a draw on Tuesday. Kohli, who is top-ranked in both ODIs and T20Is, knocked up a fine 104 not out on the last day of the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the&nbsp;latest ICC Test Player Rankings, &nbsp;Australia captain Steve Smith leads the table for batsmen with his counterpart Joe Root in second position but a good 47 points behind.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Australia&rsquo;s left-handed batsman David Warner is another player in the top 10, in sixth position. Outside the top 20, Peter Handscomb is at a career-best 26th&nbsp;position and would be looking to further advance in the rankings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For England, former captain Alastair Cook will be hoping to repeat his 2010-11 Ashes form, when he scored 766 runs. He is presently ranked 10th&nbsp;while Jonny Bairstow is ranked 15th.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>ICC Test Player Rankings (as of 21 November, after the first Test between India and Sri Lanka in Kolkata and before The Ashes):<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Batsmen (top 20)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/ashes-2017-18-impact-on-icc-test-ranking-points-32531\">Ashes 2017-18 impact on ICC Test Ranking Points<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Rank&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (+\/-)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Player&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Team&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pts&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ( - )&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Steve Smith&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Aus&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 936&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; 2 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ( - )&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Joe Root&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Eng&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 889&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ( - )&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; K.
