The latest ICC ODI batting rankings have seen a notable reshuffle at the top, with the Indian captain Shubman Gill rising to No. 2 spot and overtaking partner Virat Kohli:who fell to third place. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma continues to hold the fourth position after another successful ODI series.Gill’s rise through the ranks came on the back of a brilliant performance in India’s recently concluded three-match ODI series against Afghanistan. The right-hander remained in sublime form throughout the series and played a key role in India’s dominant 3-0 clean sweep.He scored 84 in the opening ODI before making a magnificent 154 in the second match. His performances earned him the Player of the Series award and helped him gain three places in the rankings.Kohli, on the other hand, has dropped a position despite continuing to be one of the most accomplished ODI batters in world cricket. The former Indian captain holds the no. 2 spot for a long time, but his absence from the Afghanistan series was due to the right hamstring injury he suffered during the IPL 2026 final between RCB and GT. His absence allowed Gill to get ahead of him.However, Kohli is set to return for the three-match ODI series against England in July, where he will look to reclaim the position while competing with Shubman Gill. Rohit Sharma, who currently occupies the fourth spot, is also looking to climb higher ranks. Rohit scored 143 runs in the Afghanistan series at a strike rate of over 115, including fluent knocks of 48 and 79 in the last two matches.While Daryl Mitchell continues to dominate the top spot in the ODI rankings with 815 points, while Afghanistan’s Ibrahim Zadran’s position has fallen after a disappointing performance against India.India Vs England ODI Schedule.
