Virat Kohli is the lone Indian batsman to figure in the top-10 of the ICC Test rankings.

India's captain is currently at No 10.

Australia vice-captain Steven Smith will look to defend his number-one spot, as he holds a five-point advantage over South Africa's AB de Villiers.

Meanwhile, none of the Indian bowlers could find a place in the top-10 rankings for Test bowlers, which is headed by Dale Steyn of South Africa.
