Two major stars of Indian cricket, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, have suddenly disappeared from the ICC ODI rankings. Both their names have been removed not only from the top 10, but also from the top 100.
Sports News: The ICC ODI rankings have presented a surprising twist for Indian cricket fans this time. Veteran batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have suddenly disappeared from the ICC ODI rankings. Now, only Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer are representing India in the top 10. This change has increased debate and discussion among cricket lovers.
Rohit and Virat out of the rankings
In the new ICC ODI rankings, the names of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are missing from both the top 10 and the top 100. Previously, Rohit Sharma was in second place, surpassing Pakistan's Babar Azam in the rankings released last week. Although Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from T20 Internationals and Test cricket, they are still active in ODI cricket.
According to reports, the reason for this sudden change may be a technical glitch. At the same time, fans on social media believe that both have not played any ODI matches for a long time, so their names have been removed from the ICC rankings.
Ranking of Top Batsmen
Indian batsman Shubman Gill is at the forefront in the new rankings. Gill has 784 rating points. He is followed by the world's best batsmen in the top 5:
- Shubman Gill (India) – 784 points
- Babar Azam (Pakistan)
- Daryl Mitchell (New Zealand)
- Charith Asalanka (Sri Lanka)
- Harry Tector (Ireland)
India's Shreyas Iyer is at sixth place with 704 rating points and remains the only other Indian batsman in the top 10. Notably, Shubman Gill's ranking is a matter of pride for India. The young batsman has been consistently performing well and has secured his permanent place in Team India.
Keshav Maharaj makes a leap in bowlers' rankings
In the ODI bowlers' rankings, South Africa's spinner Keshav Maharaj has achieved the number 1 position with a brilliant performance. He took 5 wickets in 10 overs in the first ODI against Australia, taking his rating to 687 points. This leap of Maharaj proved decisive in getting him to the top spot. His performance also affected the ranking of other top bowlers.
