Babar Azam Reclaims No. 1 ODI Batsman Ranking, Shubman Gill Slips to Second

In a swift turnaround, Babar Azam has reclaimed the No. 1 ODI batsman ranking, displacing Shubman Gill in less than 45 days after losing the position. Despite Gill’s commendable performances, including two half-centuries, he had to surrender the top spot to Babar Azam, who played just one inning, scoring 38 against England at the Eden Gardens.

Ending the year as the most successful ODI batter, Gill accumulated 1584 runs from 29 matches at an impressive average of 63.36. However, Babar Azam, with 824 points, is back at the No. 1 position, followed by Gill at second with 810. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma maintain their positions at No. 3 and 4, while Shreyas Iyer drops to 12th. KL Rahul is the only Indian to climb the ladder, securing the No. 16 spot.

In another shift, India’s spinner Ravi Bishnoi lost his No. 1-ranked T20I bowler position to England’s Adil Rashid. Bishnoi, after an outstanding performance against Australia, grabbing nine wickets in five T20Is, did not play in the subsequent series against South Africa. Rashid, ranked 3 earlier, climbed to the top after an impressive show against West Indies, securing seven wickets in four games.

This dynamic shift in the ICC T20I bowler rankings saw three different players hold the top spot over the last three weeks. West Indies’ Akeal Hosein rose to the sixth position, while South Africa’s Tabraiz Shamsi climbed to the ninth spot. The rankings reflect the exceptional performances of these skilled bowlers, creating a dynamic and competitive landscape in T20I bowling.
