New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell is currently at the top of the ICC ODI batting rankings, who achieved this position in the rankings by defeating Virat Kohli last week. Some time ago, Rohit Sharma also came on top, but due to poor performance in all three ODIs against New Zealand, he slipped down. Let us tell you that 4 Indians are included in the top-10 of the ranking. How is this a big deal? You can guess this from the fact that except India, no two players from any country are in the top-10. See who are in the top-10 of the latest rankings.
1. Daryl Mitchell (New Zealand)
New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell’s recently concluded India tour was brilliant, he scored 84 runs in the first ODI and then scored centuries in both the matches. After scoring 131 runs in Rajkot, he played a brilliant inning of 137 runs in the decisive ODI played in Indore, although Virat also scored a century in Indore but Mitchell scored more runs and got the top position by getting more rating points. Daryl has 845 rating points.
2. Virat Kohli (India)
Virat Kohli’s excellent form continued in the ODI series against New Zealand, he scored 93 runs in the first match and 124 runs in the third match. However, it was not his shortcomings, rather it was the extraordinary performance of Daryl Mitchell that caused Kohli to lose his top position. Virat has 795 rating points.
3. Ibrahim Zadran (Afghanistan)
Afghanistan’s Ibrahim Zadran is at third place in the list with 764 rating points. Although he played his last ODI in October, he benefited from Rohit Sharma’s poor performance.
4. Rohit Sharma (India)
Rohit Sharma’s performance in the 3 ODI series against New Zealand was not good, he scored a total of 61 runs in all three matches. This also affected his ranking and he slipped down. Rohit is currently ranked fourth in the ICC ODI batting rankings with 757 rating points.
5. Shubman Gill (India)
Shubman Gill had scored half-centuries (56-56) in the first 2 matches of the ODI series against New Zealand, but in the decisive match he could score only 23 runs. Indian captain Gill is at fifth position in the list with 723 rating points.
