ICC Rankings: Currently, cricket players from all over the world are showing their talent in the ODI World Cup 2023. Every day some new record is being created. Old ones are breaking and new ones are being formed. Meanwhile, everyone's eyes are also on the ICC ODI rankings, which are released every week. At present only One Day International cricket is taking place, hence there is a huge change in it every week. Meanwhile, let us try to understand what changes can happen in the next week.Babar Azam at number one, Shubman Gill at number two in ICC ODI rankingsPakistan captain Babar Azam is currently at number one in the ICC ODI rankings. His rating is 835 and at second place is India's Shubhman Gill, whose rating is 830. In their last match, while Babar Azam played an inning of 50 runs, on the other hand, Shubman Gill scored 16 runs. That is, if seen in this way, there may be a change in the ratings of these two players, but the ranking will probably remain the same next week also. Rossi van der Dussen is at third place with a rating of 758, which means he will not be able to reach second place right now.Rohit Sharma played strong innings against Afghanistan and PakistanMeanwhile, Rohit Sharma has definitely created a ruckus. While Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant century against Afghanistan on Wednesday last week, he also scored a big half-century against Pakistan on 14 October. Rohit Sharma played an inning of 131 runs on 84 balls against Afghanistan. Hit 16 fours and five sixes in this. Team India batted later and won this match by 8 wickets. After this, he played a brilliant inning of 86 runs on 63 balls against Pakistan. During this, he also hit six fours and six sixes. The Indian team won it by 7 wickets.Rohit Sharma may return to top 10, difficult to say for Virat KohliRohit Sharma is currently at number 11 in the ICC ODI rankings with a rating of 684. Heinrich Klaasen of South Africa is at number ten and Imam ul Haq of Pakistan is at number nine. That is, it should be fully expected that Rohit Sharma can once again return to the top 10 after playing two big innings in a row. They should not have much trouble in this. But if we talk about Virat Kohli, he is currently at number seven with a rating of 715. Virat Kohli has played two innings after the last rating. He had scored an unbeaten 55 runs against Afghanistan, after which he could score only 16 runs against Pakistan. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether he is able to secure his place at number six or something else happens.
