ODI batting rankings: Rohit overtakes Babar
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|August 14, 2025
Gill stays No. 1 as India dominates top 15 with Kohli (4th), Iyer (8th), and Rahul (15th)
India's 50-overs captain Rohit Sharma inched closer to the top spot in the International Cricket Council's (ICC) ODI batting rankings, vaulting to second place over Pakistan's Babar Azam. The change comes on the back of Babar's underwhelming returns in the ongoing ODI series against the West Indies, where he managed just 56 runs in three matches at an average of 18.66.
Despite not featuring in an ODI since smashing a rollicking 76 in the final of the 2025 Champions Trophy against New Zealand in Dubai in March, the 38-year-old Rohit moved up a place behind his young teammate Shubman Gill after Babar's repetitive failures in the West Indies.
