In the ICC men’s ODI batting rankings, Virat Kohli has risen one spot to second place, reducing the distance on India captain Shubman Gill, who remains at the top. The action occurred after India trounced the West Indies by eight wickets in the first game of their current series, following Kohli’s record 55th century in the format—an unbroken 139 off 88 balls with nine sixes.
Shubman Gill scored his tenth ODI century in the same game, bringing his total to 109. Daryl Mitchell (794) takes third place, followed by Rohit Sharma (719).
Virat Kohli has a current rating of 796, barely 20 points below Gill’s 816.
On September 27, men’s ODIs around the world set a record of six centuries in a single day. In addition to Virat Kohli and Gill, Temba Bavuma, David Miller, Justin Greaves, and Tom Banton all scored three figures in games played throughout the world on that day.
What was the change in the overall batting rankings?
Kusal Mendis was a renowned batting chart climber. With his 121 off 100 balls for Sri Lanka in the match that tied their three-ODI series against England, he climbed three spots to seventh place in his career. In the end, England won the series 2-1.
The only English batter in the top ten is Joe Root, who is placed ninth. After scoring 77 in the last ODI, which England won by 223 runs, skipper Harry Brook moved up one slot to 11th place.
After just ten ODIs, Bavuma jumped ten places to 32nd overall, while Miller remained at 41st. Banton jumped 333 ranks in a single update, the most of any player in the chart, but he remains outside the top 80 at 83rd owing to a lack of international experience.
In the most recent update, which bowlers made gains?
Keshav Maharaj moved up three places to third in the ODI bowling rankings. Throughout his team’s series against Australia, the South African spinner had figures of 2 for 54 and 4 for 20, enough to drive him into the top three.
Kuldeep Yadav returned to ODI cricket with a game-winning 4 for 40 against the West Indies, propelling him up four spots to fifth in the bowling rankings. The left-arm wrist spinner delivered an impressive return performance.
