India's ODI captain Shubman Gill has reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the ICC Men's ODI Batting Rankings after six months, despite India's 2-1 series defeat to England.
India captain Shubman Gill has reclaimed the No.1 spot in the ICC Men's ODI Batting Rankings despite India's 2-1 series defeat to England, capping another impressive chapter in his rise as one of the world's premier white-ball batters.
The latest ICC rankings update saw Gill return to the summit after New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell relinquished top spot following the Black Caps' recent ODI series against the West Indies. Gill had first become the world's No.1 ODI batter in November 2023 after a prolific run in the format but slipped to second in January this year when Mitchell's outstanding performances during New Zealand's successful tour of India earned him the top ranking.
Six months later, the Indian skipper has reclaimed the crown.
Gill's return to the summit was driven by a fine individual display against England. While India were unable to avoid a 2-1 series defeat, the 26-year-old emerged as his side's leading run-scorer, amassing 188 runs in three matches. He laid the foundation with a fluent 80 in the opening ODI at Edgbaston before adding two more valuable contributions, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most consistent batters in the 50-over format.
SOORYAVANSHI’S INCREDIBLE RISE CONTINUES
There was more good news for Indian cricket in the latest ICC rankings as teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi continued his meteoric rise in international cricket. The 15-year-old opener surged 230 places to a career-best 48th in the ICC Men's T20I Batting Rankings after starring in India's 3-0 series sweep over Zimbabwe.
Sooryavanshi finished as the leading run-scorer of the series with 151 runs at an average of 50.33 and was rewarded with his maiden Player of the Series award. His fearless batting, highlighted by knocks of 50 off 19 balls and 81 off 49, made him the first player in men's T20I history to score multiple half-centuries before turning 16.
India's dominance in the T20I rankings also continued, with Ishan Kishan retaining the No.1 batting spot on 910 rating points. Tilak Varma climbed two places to sixth, while Shreyas Iyer jumped seven spots to 24th. Ravi Bishnoi enjoyed the biggest rise among Indian bowlers, soaring 31 places to 41st after his impressive performances against Zimbabwe, rounding off another memorable week for India's white-ball stars.
