Shubman Gill rose to No. 2 in the ICC ODI rankings for batters and is now closing in on former Pakistan skipper Babar Azam's top spot. Gill closed the gap with Babar after hitting back-to-back fifties in the first two ODIs against England.
At 781, Gill is just five rating points away from Babar Azam (786). Gill is not the only problem for Babar. India captain Rohit Sharma, who smashed a sparkling century in the second ODI against England in Cuttack to take his overall tally to 32 and solidify his position among the all-time greats in this format, is occupying the third spot and is just 3 rating points away from Babar.
