ICC has released the latest rankings during the ongoing ODI series between India and England. Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant century in the second ODI in Cuttack against England, but he still lost his ranking position. On the other hand, Shubman Gill has gained slightly. Virat Kohli, who has been struggling with poor form, has dropped even further in the rankings.
In the latest ICC ODI rankings, former Pakistan captain Babar Azam continues to hold the top position with a rating of 786. However, India’s young opener Shubman Gill is now close behind, posing a strong challenge. Gill has moved up one spot to secure the second position with a rating of 781. His rise in the rankings comes after two consecutive half-centuries in recent ODIs, which have significantly benefited him.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma has slipped one place and is now ranked third with a rating of 773. Despite scoring a brilliant century in the second ODI against England, he has lost his previous position. While Gill’s form has helped him climb up, Rohit’s ranking has taken a hit despite his strong performances.
With the competition getting intense, the upcoming matches could bring further changes in the rankings. If Gill continues his good form, he might even overtake Babar Azam to become the world’s No. 1 ODI batsman. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma will aim to bounce back and regain his lost position.
Shreyas Iyer has broken into the top 10 in the latest ICC ODI rankings. Afghanistan’s Rahmanullah Gurbaz remains at joint eighth place with Shai Hope, both having a rating of 672. Meanwhile, Iyer has moved up one spot and is now ranked tenth with a rating of 669.
The rankings could change again after the third ODI between India and England. With the Champions Trophy approaching, another update in the rankings is expected soon. If Iyer continues his good form, he might climb even higher in the standings before the tournament begins.
Virat Kohli has dropped two spots in the latest ICC ODI rankings. His poor form continues, and he is now ranked sixth with a rating of 728. Meanwhile, Ireland’s young batsman Harry Tector has climbed two places to secure the fourth position with a rating of 737. South Africa’s Heinrich Klaasen remains steady at fifth place with a rating of 736.
New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell holds the seventh spot with a rating of 721, while West Indies’ Shai Hope stays at eighth with 672. Kohli’s ranking slip highlights his ongoing struggles, and he will need strong performances in upcoming matches to regain his position.
