India batter Shubman Gill's excellent run in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has earned him the top-batter's spot in the ICC ODI Rankings for men. His teammate Mohammed Siraj, on the other hand, has taken the No. 1 spot in ODI Rankings for bowlers. Gill claimed the numero uno spot by dislodging Pakistan skipper Babar Azam off the perch. Gill is now only the fourth player from his country to hold the No.1 ODI batter position, joining the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli. Siraj took the top spot in the standings for bowlers courtesy of his stupendous performances in the last couple of matches for India in the World Cup.
The right-hander has scored 92 against Sri Lanka and 23 against South Africa, amassing 219 runs from six innings at the event so far in the ongoing tournament.
Pakistan skipper has amassed 282 runs from eight knocks in the World Cup, falling six rating points behind Gill into second place as his more than two-year reign as the world's top ODI batter came to an end.
Meanwhile, former captain Virat Kohli claimed the fourth spot in the rankings. Gill takes the top spot for the first time in his brief but outstanding career, while Kohli moves up three places to fourth - and within one rating point of third-placed South Africa opener Quinton de Kock - thanks to his 543 World Cup runs.
Notably, India batter Shreyas Iyer leaps 17 ranks to 18th overall on the list of ODI batters, with Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman raised up three slots to 11th and Afghanistan counterpart Ibrahim Zadran moved up six spots to 12th also making inroads.
