India's batting maestro Virat Kohli's impact on cricket shows no signs of waning, even after more than a year after bidding adieu to T20Is and following his recent stint away from Test cricket, as he reached a new milestone in ICC's latest rankings update.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday updated Kohli's maximum T20I rating points to 909 points, making him the only batter in sports history to cross the 900-point mark in ICC Men's Cricket Rankings across all formats of the game.

On Wednesday, Virat, who had retired from T20Is following a title-sealing 76 during the final of the ICC T20 World Cup last year, got an upgrade in his T20I rating.

His all-time T20I rating was updated by the ICC from 897 to 909, as per Wisden. This is the third-highest rating points attained by a batter in the ICC Men's T20I Rankings, behind Suryakumar Yadav (912) and England's Dawid Malan (919), who have had their reigns at the top of the ranking charts.

Virat's highest rating points in the ICC Men's Test Rankings are 937, the highest for an Indian batter and overall 11th-highest of all time.

He achieved this way back in 2018 during the tour to England, where he slammed 593 runs in 10 innings with two centuries and three fifties and was the lone warrior for India in an otherwise poor series for the batters.
