ICC Rankings / Team India shines in ICC rankings, 3 Indian players in top 5

ICC Rankings: Team India's players continue to dominate the ICC rankings. The new rankings for ODI batsmen include three Indian players in the top 5. Babar Azam of Pakistan is still at number one, while Rohit Sharma is second, Shubman Gill is third and Virat Kohli is fourth. Changes are expected in the Test rankings next week, as Test matches will be played between Pakistan, Bangladesh, England and Sri Lanka. Despite the Indian team not playing any ODIs this year, their players remain at the top of the rankings.

Babar Azam is still the number one batsman, Rohit Sharma is at number two

The new ODI rankings have been released by the ICC. In that, Babar Azam of Pakistan is still at the number one position. His rating is 824. It is another matter that Babar has not played any ODI match for the last eight months, yet he remains at the number one position. But after this, Indian players are occupying three consecutive positions.

Shubman Gill also at third place in ICC rankings

Indian team captain Rohit Sharma is at second place in the ICC ODI rankings. His rating is currently 765. He is getting closer to Babar Azam, but to beat him, Rohit Sharma will have to play some more big innings in ODIs. After this, Shubman Gill is at number three. His rating is 763. That is, there is very little difference between the ratings of Rohit and Shubman. When these two will play, a good battle will be seen between them regarding the rankings.

Virat Kohli's dominance also remains

Former captain Virat Kohli continues to hold the number four position. His rating is 746. Ireland's Harry Tractor also has the same rating, so he is also jointly at number four with Kohli. The special thing is that the Indian team will not play any ODI match this year. When the England team will tour India early next year, then these three players will be seen in action.

There will be a change in the Test rankings next week

This time there is no major change in the top 10 rankings and ratings. The reason for this is also the lack of matches. Right now the teams are more focused on Tests and T20s. But last week there were no matches in that format, so there have been no changes there either. Now from today i.e. 21st August, the Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh is starting. England and Sri Lanka will also face each other for the first Test. In such a situation, it is expected that there will be a lot of impact in the Test rankings next week.
