Shubman Gill News / Gill had fun as soon as Babar Azam failed, this is the reason

Babar Azam continuously failed in the ongoing tri-series in Pakistan. Due to poor performance in all three matches, his ICC ODI ranking is in danger. Shubman Gill, who is currently in second place, can soon become the world's number 1 batsman in ODIs.

Shubman Gill News: Babar Azam's poor form continued in Pakistan's tri-series. He was out after scoring just 29 runs in the final against New Zealand as well. His continuous flop has put his number 1 position in the ICC ODI rankings in danger and Shubman Gill is ready to become the new king.

Gill's number 1 is almost certain

Shubman Gill is currently in second place in the ICC ODI rankings with 781 rating points, while Babar Azam is just five points ahead of him. Babar's recent failure is expected to lead to a drop in his points, which could officially make Gill the number 1 batsman in ODIs next week.

Babar Azam's problems increased

Babar Azam's form has been a matter of concern for some time now. His innings have not been as impressive as before. Apart from this, the decisions of the team management are also weighing heavily on him. He was forced to open in the tri-series, while his real strength is to bat at number 3. He could not play a big innings in the three matches played against New Zealand and South Africa.

Big opportunity for Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill deserves to be number 1 on the basis of his excellent form. In the ODI series against England, he scored 259 runs, which included two half-centuries and a century. His ODI average is around 60, and he has become the fastest player to score 2500 runs. In such a situation, it is believed that Shubman Gill will become the new king of ODI in the next ranking update of ICC.
