Rohit Sharma Closes in on Babar Azam, Achieves Career-Best No. 2 in ICC ODI Rankings

Rohit Sharma has made significant gains in the latest ICC ODI rankings following a strong performance in the series against Sri Lanka, despite India’s overall loss. The Indian captain has jumped to the No. 2 spot in the rankings with 765 points, his highest-ever ranking in ODIs. However, Babar Azam still holds the top position with 824 points.

The last Indian to reach the No. 1 ODI spot was Shubman Gill, following legends like Tendulkar, Dhoni, and Virat Kohli.

Rohit Sharma’s Performance and Upcoming Challenges

Despite his stellar showing, Rohit couldn’t steer India to a series win against Sri Lanka, marking India’s first ODI series loss to the island nation in 27 years. Rohit’s next challenge will come in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh starting September 19 in Chennai, followed by a series against New Zealand and a crucial tour of Australia.

Historical Context of India’s ODI Batting Greats

Rohit now joins the ranks of Indian ODI greats. The only Indian batters to have reached the No. 1 spot in ICC ODI rankings are Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill. As the ODI World Cup looms, all eyes will be on Rohit to see if he can surpass Babar and claim the top spot.

This rise in the rankings is a significant achievement for Rohit, who continues to lead by example in the Indian cricket team, showcasing his consistency and skill as one of the world’s premier batsmen.
