ICC Men’s ODI Rankings: The ICC Men’s ODI Rankings have seen a significant reshuffle just ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025, with India’s Shubman Gill reclaiming the No. 1 spot in the batting charts.
The latest rankings, released on February 18, mark a major moment in Gill’s career as he dethrones Babar Azam to become the top-ranked batter in the world. This is the second time Gill has reached the pinnacle, having first achieved it during the 2023 ODI World Cup.

India’s dominance in ODI cricket is further reflected in the rankings, with Rohit Sharma (3rd), Virat Kohli (6th), and Shreyas Iyer (9th) all featuring in the top 10 batters. In the bowling department, Kuldeep Yadav has moved up to 4th place, while Mohammed Siraj retains his spot in the top 10. India’s all-round strength is highlighted by Ravindra Jadeja, who remains among the leading all-rounders.
The rankings update comes on the eve of the ICC Champions Trophy, which is set to begin in Karachi with Pakistan taking on New Zealand. With key Indian players in top form, expectations are high for Rohit Sharma’s team as they aim for their third Champions Trophy title.

Shubman Gill’s climb to the top was fuelled by a stellar series against England, where he amassed 259 runs in three matches, including a century and two fifties. This performance propelled him past Babar Azam, who now sits in second place. Rohit Sharma remains a consistent presence at No. 3, while Shreyas Iyer’s recent form has helped him break into the top 10.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, two of India’s most experienced batters, also remain in the top tier, giving India a strong batting lineup heading into the tournament.
