In the ICC ODI rankings, Indian batsman Shubman Gill surpassed Babar Azam to take the top spot in the globe. Following an incredible three-match series against England, Shubman rose to the top of the batting rankings.
Shubman's outstanding performance in the three-match series against England moved him to the top of the batting rankings on Wednesday, February 19.
His ascent to the top of the ODI batting rankings coincides with the 2025 Champions Trophy. India would like to see the young player continue to perform well in the 50-over format. Shubman was recently praised by Gautam Gambhir, the head coach of India. According to Gambhir, the batter's recent promotion to vice-captain has improved his consistency.
When it comes to the 2025 Champions Trophy, Shubman is in excellent shape. Shubman got 102 fifties and finished with 259 runs at an average of 86.33 during a three-match series against England.
The former Pakistan captain was only five points away from the Indian hitter, who had closed in on Babar Azam last week. Babar lost 13 points and Shubman gained 15 on February 19. Babar currently has 776 points, while the young Indian hitter has 796.
The top 10 ODI batter rankings include four Indian batters in total. Rohit Sharma (3), Virat Kohli (6), and Shreyas Iyer (9), in order, come after Shubman Gill.
