Rohit Sharma leapfrogs over Virat Kohli, close in on Shubman Gill and Babar Azam in ICC ODI ranking

Team India captain Rohit Sharma has jumped over his teammate Virat Kohli and zoomed to the number three position in the latest ICC ODI rankings announced on Wednesday. Rohit scored a match-winning 76 in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final and was named the ‘Player of the Final’.

The Indian skipper’s knock helped him rise a couple of places to leave behind South Africa’s Heinrich Klaasen and Kohli and move to third position in the ODI rankings. Rohit’s opening partner Shubman Gill continues to hold the number one position while former Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is in second spot, after his lackluster showing in the Champions Trophy.

Rohit’s 83-ball 76 at the top of the order that set up India’s chase of a target of 252 against New Zealand in the final in Dubai, has helped him advance two spots to third position while Kiwi all-rounder Rachin Ravindra has moved up in all three lists after shining in the semifinal against South Africa and putting up a valiant effort in the final.
