ICC ODI Rankings: Virat Kohli replaces Rohit Sharma to reclaim no. 1 batter spot after four years

Babar Azam has reclaimed the top spot in the ICC ODI Rankings on Wednesday (Dec 20). Babar, the former Pakistan skipper, was replaced from the No. 1 spot by Indian opener Shubman Gill recently, however, the stylish batter has regained the spot in a flash. It is to be noted that&nbsp;the change in the rankings occurred following&nbsp;Gill's absence from India's ongoing three ODIs&nbsp;against hosts South Africa. Babar holds the top spot with an impressive 824 rating points, while Gill remains a close second with 810 points.

Babar-starrer Pakistan have not played an ODI since their World Cup campaign ended on Nov 11, when they faced England in their last league stage game at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

ICC ODI Rankings: Babar Azam reclaims No. 1 spot from Gill, Indian veterans Kohli and Rohit remain in top 4

Shaheen Afridi has climbed several spots to become the No. 1 ODI bowler after his terrific 3 for 23 in Pakistan's seven-wicket win over Bangladesh in match 31 of the 50-over World Cup on Tuesday (Oct 31).&nbsp;He moved&nbsp;past Australia's Josh Hazlewood (673 rating points) to take the first position. It is to be noted that Shaheen has become the No. 1 bowler for the first time in any format.

Shaheen attained the top spot after becoming the fastest&nbsp;pacer to join the 100-wicket club&nbsp;in ODIs in only his 51st match, during&nbsp;Pakistan's easy win over the Bangla Tigers&nbsp;at the iconic Eden Gardens, Kolkata. He was at his best in the game versus the Shakib Al Hasan-led Bangladesh line-up and accounted for early strikes to put Babar Azam-led Men in Green ahead from the word go after being asked to bowl first. He dismissed the likes of Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mahmudullah. His delivery to dismiss Mahmudullah was lauded by the cricketing fraternity.

Shaheen has accounted for 16 scalps in six games in the ongoing ten-team ODI World Cup in India, at an economy rate of 5.22 and a strike rate of 22.87.

Pakistan - the ranked number one ODI side ahead of the start of Asia Cup 2023, slipped on the ICC rankings table following their sluggish outings in their last two Super Four matches. While they beat Bangladesh convincingly in their first game, Pakistan suffered an embarrassing 228-run loss at the hands of India in a two-day rain-hit marquee clash in Colombo.

In their virtual knockout game against Sri Lanka on Thursday, the game went to the wire, where Sri Lanka chased down the target with two wickets in hand, crushing Pakistan's hopes of reaching their maiden final against India in the Asia Cup.

Pakistan will next participate in an ODI game during the World Cup warm-up matches that begin on September 28.&nbsp;

<h3>India look strong as CWC approaches</h3>

The Cricket World Cup 2023 is around the corner, and the hosts look like the side to beat. With KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan grabbing their chances with star performances in this ongoing Asia Cup, the middle-order debate looks set to be over.&nbsp;

Besides, Shreyas Iyer closing in on attaining full fitness also comes as a blessing for the Men in Blue, who aim to end the trophy drought with a World Cup win on home soil this time.

Australia have maintained their dominance at the top in the ICC ODI rankings, released by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Thursday (May 11). After the latest update, which weights games completed prior to May 2022 at 50 per cent and subsequent matches at 100 per cent, the Men in Yellow hold the top spot with 118 rating points, two ahead of second-placed Pakistan.

Recently, Australia had conceded the top spot to Babar Azam-led Pakistan after the Men in Green took a 4-0 lead over New Zealand, at home, in the just-concluded five-match series. However, the one-time ODI champions could not hold onto the numero uno position for more than two days as they had to win the NZ series 5-0. They lost the series finale by 47 runs to let go of the first position.&nbsp;

ICC ODI rankings: Australia maintain dominance at top, India one spot below arch-rivals Pakistan

Jasprit Bumrah has reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the latest ICC Men's ODI Rankings for bowlers following his splendid show for Team India in their mammoth ten-wicket win over England in the three-match&nbsp;series opener, held on Tuesday (July 12) at The Oval, London.

Bumrah returned with his best-ever ODI bowling figures, taking 6 for 19 (second five-fer in the format overall), and also ended with the best-ever bowling spell in the format by an Indian in England. With this, he has reclaimed the top spot, which he had lost to New Zealand pacer Trent Boult in early 2020. He has been at the numero uno position for as many as 730 days, most by an Indian, ninth-most overall.

Along with Bumrah, Md Shami (3 for 31), Rohit Sharma (58-ball 76 not out) and Shikhar Dhawan (31* off 54 balls) also stood tall for India in their ten-wicket hammering of England. Thus, Shami has also progressed three slots to reach the joint-23rd position, with teammate Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Rohit has, meanwhile, closed the gap with third-ranked Virat Kohli in the batting chart, with only one rating point separating the two, as Dhawan&nbsp;inched up one slot to 12th position.

After his Player-of-the-Match performance, Bumrah said at the post-match presentation, "When there's swing and seam movement, it is very exciting in white-ball cricket to get that opportunity because you have to be defensive with the kind of pitches we usually get. When I bowled the first ball, I found some swing and we tried to exploit that. When it doesn't swing, I have to pull my lengths back. When the ball is doing something you don't have to try a lot. When the wicket is flat your accuracy is tested. It is a good place to be when the ball is swinging. As soon as Shami bowled the first over, we had a conversation to go fuller. Very happy for him, he gets a lot of wickets. I told him when he beats the bat, that there would be days when he'd run through the side. When the ball is moving around, the keeper and the cordon is very active. Very happy that Rishabh has been working hard on his keeping as well as his batting."

Meanwhile, Indian captain,&nbsp;Rohit stated, "Looking at the overhead conditions and the pitch, the toss was a right call to make. We used the conditions upfront really well. We never worry about the conditions because we have got the guys who can just come out and use those conditions. There was some swing and seam upfront and we exploited them well. When you play in such conditions, you have to understand the assistance and have field placements accordingly. We knew our bowlers could swing the ball both ways and hence had that kind of field."

In the ODI Rankings for teams, India are at the third spot, below top-ranked New Zealand and second-positioned England.

Jasprit Bumrah reclaims top spot among bowlers in ICC ODI Rankings after 6/19 vs England

Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq has surpassed Virat Kohli to get to the second spot in the ICC One Day International Batter Rankings. The southpaw was earlier in third place in the rankings just below his captain Babar Azam and the former India skipper Virat Kohli. A brilliant performance in the home series has brought him four points clear of Kohli at number two, a career-best ranking for him. Imam inspired Pakistan to clean sweep West Indies 3-0 in the recent ODI series at home, smashing three half-centuries. His form was duly rewarded as he won the Player of the Series award and made a move on the latest rankings that were released on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old jumped a massive 20 rating points to move in front of Kohli and now has a career-best mark of 815 rating points. That is, of course, still well behind Babar`s mark of 892, with the Pakistan captain holding his massive lead at the top of the ODI batter rankings following his 17th ODI century in the first match against West Indies. Kohli, who was only second to Babar in the rankings now sits at the third spot with 811 points, just above India`s current ODI captain, Rohit Sharma.

There were some other minor moves in the top 10, with Aaron Finch going to ninth spot as his Australia team-mate David Warner dropped to 10th - while England`s Jonny Bairstow fell two places to eighth and South Africa`s Rassie van der Dussen hopped a spot to seventh.Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi jumped two places to fourth following his good series with the ball against West Indies. New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult remains on top of the bowler rankings, but Australia seamer Josh Hazlewood and Kiwi team-mate Matt Henry are closing in after they jumped one spot to second and third respectively. England pacer Chris Woakes was out of the top five as he fell four spots to equal sixth, tied with Mujeeb Ur Rahman after the Afghanistan spinner rose two places.

In the ranking for all-rounders, the biggest mover is Oman`s Zeeshan Maqsood, jumping 13 places to 10th following a string of outstanding performances in the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 action.The experienced 34-year-old scored an unbeaten century against Nepal earlier this month and then backed that up with a four-wicket haul with the ball in Oman`s match against the USA.

ICC ODI Rankings: Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq overtakes Virat Kohli, Babar Azam firm on top

Pakistan have left India behind in the ICC Men`s ODI Team Rankings after completing a clean sweep over West Indies in Multan. Babar Azam`s side jumped a spot to No 4 in the latest ICC Men`s ODI Team Rankings after the series win over West Indies in Multan. Team India is currently at the fifth spot. Before the start of the series, Pakistan were placed fifth in the rankings with a rating of 102. But the 3-0 clean sweep over the Windies has boosted them to No 4 with a rating of 106, leaving India behind at 105. Pakistan have enjoyed a brilliant last couple of years in the 50-over format.

Apart from the blip against England away from home, they have taken on all comers and emerged victorious, including 2-1 series wins against Zimbabwe and South Africa. They defeated Australia by the same margin when they came to visit Pakistan for the first time since 1998. West Indies stood no chance against Pakistan as they were rampaged 3-0. This period of upsurgence has come under the captaincy of Babar Azam, who has led by example for Pakistan in all formats of the game. With his recent century in the first match against West Indies, he became the first batter to score three consecutive ODI centuries twice, having previously achieved the feat in 2016 as well. And with a fifty in the second ODI, he broke the world record for most consecutive 50+ scores (9) in men`s international cricket across all formats.

The top-ranked ODI batter has built a troop of trusted players along the way. One of them is Imam-ul-Haq, who has enjoyed a purple patch of late and has seven scores of 50+ in his last seven ODIs to show for his efforts. ICC Men`s Player of the Year Shaheen Afridi has been the leader of the pack of bowlers that consists of Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan, among others.

India, though, will have a chance to climb the rankings as they play England and West Indies (three ODIs each) before Pakistan play their next ODI series in August.&nbsp;

ICC ODI Rankings: Rohit Sharma edges closer to Virat Kohli; Babar Azam spearheads the batting list

Opener Devon Conway has entered the ICC Men’s Test Player Rankings in 77th position with a record 447 rating points, the highest for a New Zealand batsman on debut and the third-highest ever on debut.<o:p></o:p>

The 29-year-old left-hander, who scored 200 and 23 in the drawn first Test against England at Lord’s, entered the list at two points less than RE Foster of England and one less than Kyle Mayers of the West Indies.<o:p></o:p>

Foster had slammed 287 on debut against Australia in Sydney in 1903 for the record of 449 rating points while Mayers had scored 40 and 210 not out in the first Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong in February this year to log 448 points. <o:p></o:p>

Conway, who is currently ranked fourth in T20Is and 121st in ODIs, has bettered the New Zealand mark of 440 rating points on Test debut by Lou Vincent against Australia at Perth in 2001.<o:p></o:p>

Cricket: Mehidy Hasan rises to number 2 in ICC Men’s ODI Player Rankings

New Zealand have replaced reigning World champions England as the number one ranked side in the ODI rankings but England have consolidated their position at the top of the T20I table after the annual update carried out on Monday.

These updates eliminate results from 2017-18 and halve the weighting of matches played in 2019-20 which includes the 2019 World Cup.

New Zealand, who defeated Bangladesh 3-0 in their only ODI series during the past year, have advanced two slots in the ICC Men’s ODI Team Rankings after gaining three rating points to reach an aggregate of 121. Australia are second with 118 points while India and England are both on 115, the former ahead on decimal points.

England’s slip down to fourth position comes in the second annual update since they won the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup at Lord’s in the summer of 2019. In the past 12 months, they have suffered 2-1 series losses to Australia and India, as well as an ODI loss to Ireland.&nbsp;

The latest update, which rates all matches played since May 2020 at 100 per cent and those of the previous two years at 50 per cent, sees Australia move up two places from fourth to second and India drop one place to third. The West Indies have overtaken Sri Lanka to ninth position.

The Netherlands have been allowed to retain their ranking despite only having played four ODIs during the new rating period, since their scheduled fixtures were postponed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

England remain the top-ranked side in the ICC Men’s T20I Team Rankings, extending their lead over India to five points. During this period, they drew a three-match series against Pakistan 1-1, defeated Australia 2-1 and South Africa 3-0 before losing an away series to India by a 3-2 margin.

New Zealand have also gained in the annual T20I update, moving up from fifth to third after series wins over the West Indies, Pakistan, Australia and Bangladesh. Australia have moved the other way, down from third to fifth.

Despite the pandemic, 80 countries have played the requisite six T20Is over the past three years to remain in the rankings. Five countries have lost their ranking after the update – Gambia, Ghana, Hungary, Sierra Leone and Sweden.

Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah retain top spots in ICC ODI ranking

The Indian Cricket team failed to retain its top spot in the ICC ODI rankings after England displaced the Virat Kohli-led side to become the new number 1.&nbsp

This is the first time that England claimed the top position since January 2013.

England arose by eight points to climb up to the No. 1 position, just three points above the Indian Cricket team.&nbsp

Meanwhile, India slipped to number 2 position to be at 122 points, in the latest reshuffling of the cricket governing body’s annual updates.&nbsp

England’s rise came with the omission of their poor record in the 2014-15 season, in which they won only seven out of 25 ODI’s against other Full Members of ICC.

South Africa, which earlier acquired the second position, dropped to the third as they lost four points, going down to 113 points from 117, making them nine points below from India.&nbsp

&nbspThe rest of the positions remain unchanged, thus ensuring that the current top 10 ranked sides will participate in the upcoming ICC World Cup in 2019.

India will travel to England in July for a full series which will feature 3 T20Is, 3 ODIs and 5 Tests.
