Leading Indian batsman Shubman Gill has displaced top-ranked Pakistani batsman Babar Azam in the ICC Men’s ODI batter rankings, marking a significant change in the rankings. After his achievements in the 2023 ODI World Cup, Gill became the best.
In addition, he became just the fourth player in Indian history to hold the top spot among ODI batters, including Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli. Babar’s reign as the top player ended after more than two years, as he lost six ranking points in the ratings.
Shubman Gill has been in excellent form for India in the ODI World Cup 2023, scoring 219 runs in six innings so far.
Gill currently holds the lead with 830 rating points, followed by Babar Azam (824 points). In addition, there has been a significant reorganization inside the top 10 ranks. Thanks to his incredible performances at the World Cup 2023, star Indian batsman Virat Kohli moved up three spots to take fourth place with 770 points, right next to Quinton de Kock, who is currently in third place.
Pakistani opener Fakhar Zaman moved up three spots to 11th in the rankings, while Indian batter Shreyas Iyer also rose 17 ranks to take his current position of 18th.
There were some changes made to the ODI bowling rankings as well.
There were also several players who made their names known in the ICC ODI bowling rankings. The top bowler in the rankings has returned to Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj following some outstanding recent performances. Keshav Maharaj, a spinner from South Africa, is immediately behind him.
In addition, Bumrah and Mohammed Shami both made significant moves to secure eighth and tenth positions, respectively, and Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav leapt three spots to take fourth place, making up for the absence of four Indian bowlers in the top ten.
