Today, on 19th November, ICC has released its latest rankings, in which Rohit Sharma has been stripped of his crown of being the number-1 ODI batsman. Indian cricket fans celebrate this day with sadness because two years ago, under the captaincy of Rohit, India lost the ODI World Cup final. Now today itself, snatching away the crown of being number-1 in the ranking from Rohit is another sad news.

Who replaced Rohit Sharma?

Rohit Sharma has now slipped to second place in the ICC ODI batting rankings. Rohit has 781 rating points. Now New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell has become the world’s number-1 ODI batsman. He has 782 rating points, i.e. just 1 point more than Rohit. Earlier he was at number three.

ICC Rankings Rules: ICC player rankings are the table in which rank is given through points base system based on the performance of international cricketers. Cricket players are rated between 0 to 1000 points. If a player’s performance is better than last year, then the points of that player grow. On the other hand, if the player’s performance deteriorated compared to before, then the points are reduced.

How is the players ranked?

An algorithm is used to calculate the performance of a match of the cricketer, causing the player’s performance to calculate according to the situation of that match. In this algorithm, the player’s runs and wickets taken in that match are included. If the player has won his team in the difficult situation, then the value of his performance increases even more.

In this calculation process of ICC, no person can interfere nor is any player more important. The ICC keeps this ranking process completely fair. It is worth noting here that there are different factors to decide the ranking in Test cricket, ODI and T20. The ICC tells the position of players in the table through the ranking of the players and the ratings in the table show the points to the players.

Bumrah number 1 bowler?

India’s fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is currently at number one in the ICC Mains Test bowling rankings. Bumrah’s rating points are 901. At the same time, South African bowler Kagiso Rabada is with 851 rating points at the second position. Australian player Pat Cummins is at number three with 838 rating points in this list. This rating has been given to Bumrah, Rabada and Cummins in view of their performance. At the same time, these three bowlers have also contributed to their teams to win the match many times.

Jasprit Bumrah recently acquired 907 rating points in the ICC Test bowling rankings, which is the best rating obtained by a India bowler. Earlier this record was named after Ravichandran Ashwin. Ashwin has got the best rating in his Test career to 904 points. On December 18, 2024, Ashwin announced his retirement from all formats of cricket. At the same time, the player who retires from international cricket, the name of that player is also out of the ICC rankings.
