India's ODI vice-captain Shubman Gill replaced skipper Rohit Sharma to rise to the second spot in the International Cricket Council (ICC) ODI rankings, just a week before the start of the 2025 Champions Trophy, and on the day of the final ODI of the three-match series against England in Ahmedabad.

Gill gained one place to move to second on the latest ODI batter rankings and is just five rating points adrift of Babar after back-to-back half-centuries against England, while Rohit, sitting third, is within 13 rating points of the century in Cuttack.

The crown of NO.1 ODI Ranking for Batters :

Gill is now just five rating points behind Pakistan star Babar Azam (786 points), who retained his top spot. Although Rohit slipped to number three, he isn’t too far from Gill and Babar either with his 773 points.

Furthermore, India skipper Rohit Sharma dropped down one spot into third with a rating of 773. It is worth noting that Rohit looked to be in exceptional form in the Cuttack clash, scoring an exceptional century. However, despite his knock, he dropped down one spot but is still within catching distance of Gill and Babar.

Interestingly, Shubman Gill is well on his way to taking the No. 1 crown from Babar Azam, considering that the star batter performed exceptionally well against England in the third ODI of the series at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
