Indian cricket stars continue their powerful reign. They are dominating the latest ICC ODI rankings for batters. Shubman Gill proudly sits at the very top spot. Furthermore, his captain Rohit Sharma secures the second position. This showcases India’s incredible and ongoing batting strength in the 50-over format.
Gill’s Unwavering Hold on Number One
Shubman Gill leads all other international batsmen. He has earned an impressive 784 rating points. Consequently, he remains the undisputed world number one ODI batter. His consistent performances have been truly remarkable over the past year. Gill now sets a very high standard for his competitors.
Rohit and Kohli: The Enduring Legends
Captain Rohit Sharma follows closely behind his teammate. He strongly holds his rank with 756 rating points. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Babar Azam occupies the third position. He has a total of 739 rating points. Indian superstar Virat Kohli is also in the elite group. Indeed, Kohli claims the fourth spot with 736 points. Both veterans remain pivotal to India’s ODI success. They last proved this during the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. Subsequently, their key roles led India to a glorious victory.
Indian Spinners Remain Firmly in Top Ten
India’s dominance also extends beyond just batting. In the bowling charts, Kuldeep Yadav stands tall. He firmly holds the number three global position. He has accumulated a strong 650 rating points. Additionally, Ravindra Jadeja features prominently in the top ten. The skilled all-rounder is ranked ninth with 616 points. Their high rankings persist despite a recent lack of ODI matches.
Aussies Cash In After Batting Masterclass
Meanwhile, several Australian players made significant moves. They capitalized on their recent series against South Africa. The team delivered an explosive performance in Mackay. They posted a massive team total of 431/2. In that match, three different Aussie batters impressively scored a century each.
Head, Marsh, and Green Lead Australian Surge
Travis Head was a standout performer for Australia. His powerful century moved him up one crucial spot. He now shares the eleventh position in the world. Similarly, Mitch Marsh also made a big jump. He climbed four places to reach the 44th position. However, Cameron Green made the most dramatic leap. The talented all-rounder soared 40 spots to land at 78th. Moreover, teammate Josh Inglis also advanced significantly. He improved 23 spots to claim the 64th rank.
New Joint Leaders at the Top of ODI Bowling
The competition among the ODI bowlers is intensifying. Now, two exceptional players share the top spot. Sri Lanka’s mystery spinner Maheesh Theekshana is one. South Africa’s consistent Keshav Maharaj is the other. Both spinners currently have exactly 671 rating points. Interestingly, Maharaj lost a few points in the final match. This consequently allowed Theekshana to draw level with him.
Ngidi and Others Make Notable Gains
South Africa’s Lungi Ngidi was another big mover. The fast bowler gained six valuable places in the rankings. He now sits comfortably at 28th position overall. His series-high seven wickets were absolutely crucial. In addition, two Australian bowlers also rose through the ranks. Sean Abbott jumped nine places to equal 48th. Finally, Nathan Ellis made a huge 21-spot leap to 65th place.
