ICC ODI Rankings: Indian cricket team’s star batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have once been seen making waves in the ICC ODI rankings. Both the batsmen performed well in the recently concluded India vs South Africa ODI series. Virat scored 2 centuries and 1 fifty in the 3-match series, while Rohit also scored 3 half-centuries. Hitman remains at number-1 in the ODI rankings released by ICC. Whereas King Kohli has taken a long leap.

Rohit and Virat in top-2

In the latest ODI rankings released by the International Cricket Council, Rohit Sharma remains at number-1 with 781 points. He came to this position after scoring a century against Australia in Sydney. Whereas Virat Kohli, who scored 302 runs in the 3-match ODI series against South Africa, has reached the second position. He has 773 rating points in his name. Before the start of this series, Virat was at 5th position, which means he has jumped 3 places.

Virat was number-1 in 2021

Along with this, let us tell you that Virat Kohli was last at number-1 in the ICC ODI rankings in April 2021. Then he was removed from the throne by Babar Azam of Pakistan. Now once again Kohli is trying to reach the top. Team India is going to play the next ODI series against New Zealand from January 11. Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are expected to perform well in this series. At the age of 38 and 37, the presence of both the legends in the top-2 of the ICC rankings is praiseworthy.

Tremendous performance against South Africa

Virat Kohli had performed tremendously in the ODI series against South Africa. In the first ODI played in Ranchi, he scored 135 runs in 120 balls, then scored 102 runs in the second ODI played in Raipur. In the last ODI, India was chasing the target of 275 runs, when Kohli remained unbeaten on the score of 65. That means if the target had been bigger then another century could have come.
