Delhi: The ICC Champions Trophy is getting a tremendous match for the top position in the ODI rankings before 2025. Babar Azam of Pakistan is currently the number-1 batsman of ODI, but India’s Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma are behind them by very small margin.
While performing well against England, Shubman Gill has finished second in the latest ICC ODI rankings by scoring three consecutive half -centuries. He is now just 5 rating points behind Babar Azam. At the same time, Indian captain Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant century in Cuttack, but he lost one place and now he is in third place behind 13 rating points from Babur.
Since the ICC Champions Trophy is only one week left in the beginning of 2025, this match has become even more interesting. During this prestigious tournament, there will be a tough competition between Babur, Gill and Rohit to become the number-1 batsman.
At the same time, Fakhar Zaman (13th), Kane Williamson (29th), Jose Butler (38th), Devon Conway (40th) and Joe Root (51st) have improved their ranking with a return to ODI cricket. There is also tremendous competition for the top position in the ODI bowlers’ rankings. Rashid Khan, Mahish Toricha, Bernard Scolts, Shaheen Afridi and Kuldeep Yadav are in the top 5. इन सभी के बीच केवल बेहद कम रेटिंग पॉइंट का फासला है.
Apart from him, Ravindra Jadeja (11th) and Mohammed Shami (13th) are also close to joining the top-10. The Indian bowlers will have a great opportunity to improve the ranking in matches coming.
On the other hand, Afghanistan’s Mohammad Nabi is in the first place in the ODI all -rounder rankings. New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner has jumped two places to make it to seventh place.
