ICC ODI Rankings : Babar Azam Retakes No 1 Batsman Position From Shubman Gill

Babar Azam has replaced Shubman Gill as the No. 1 ODI batter in the world with the star Pakistan batter taking back the position in less than 45 days after surrendering it. Gill, who on November 8 displaced Babar from the top of the ODI rankings for batters, hasn't done much wrong, scoring 135 runs from three innings, including two half-centuries, but surprisingly had to give it up for Babar, who has played just one innings scoring 38 against England at the Eden Gardens.

Shubman Gill Displaced By Babar Azam

With 824 points, Babar is once again at 1, trailed by Gillat second with 810. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have clutched their situations at No. 3 and 4 individually, while Shreyas Iyer has dropped to twelfth. KL Rahul is the main Indian who has moved up the stepping stool, getting his place at No. 16. Gill still ends the year as the most successful ODI batter, finishing with 1584 runs from 29 matches at an average of 63.36.

Ravi Bishnoi Became No 1 T20I Bowler

Other than Gill, India spinner Ravi Bishnoi too secured his situation as the No. T20I bowler ranked first. His position was taken by individual wrist-spinner Adil Rashid of Britain. Following his worthy performance for Player of the Series against Australia, in which he took nine wickets from five T20Is, Bishnoi did not play a game and was left out of both games between India and South Africa.

Many Players Positioned Changed

Over the last three weeks, the premier position on the T20I bowlers list has seen three different players hold the top spot. Akeal Hosein, the West Indies spinner, has made a notable ascent, climbing three spots to secure the sixth position. Similarly, Tabraiz Shamsi, the South African counterpart, has made an impressive move by rising three places to claim the ninth spot.
