Indian national cricket team superstars continue to dominate the latest ICC ODI Rankings updated by the International Cricket Council on Wednesday, June 24. Captain Shubman Gill is now inches away from becoming the world’s number one batter in ODI cricket.
Despite missing the recent three-match ODI series against Afghanistan, Virat Kohli remains among the top-5 batters in the latest ICC ODI Rankings. Rohit Sharma also managed to stay among the top 5 in the update rankings after his stunning fifty against Afghanistan in Chennai.
Shubman Gill on verge of becoming No. 1 ODI batter; Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma among Top 5
Shubman Gill’s impressive performances in the recent ODI series against Afghanistan have helped him climb three places in the updated ICC ODI Batting Rankings. The stylish right-hander is now ranked No. 2 in the world and is just 24 rating points behind the New Zealand star Daryl Mitchell, who currently sits at the top of the rankings with 815 ranking points.
With the form Gill is in, the Indian captain is likely to overtake Mitchell in the upcoming ODI series in England. However, Gill’s jump pushed Virat Kohli to the third position with 768 rating points, followed by Rohit Sharma (754 rating points) at the fourth space, with Afghanistan’s Ibrahim Zadran (713 rating points) completing the top 5 in the updated rankings.
