Shubman Gill dethroned Babar Azam to become the number one ranked ODI batter in the world on Wednesday. Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistan team, was the number one ranked ODI batter for over two years. He is now ranked two, six points behind India opener.

Former world number one Virat Kohli has also jumped three places to fourth in the latest ranking. He is just one point behind third-placed South African wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock. India captain Rohit Sharma is third in the top ten list from the country. He is sitting at the sixth spot.

In the ICC ODI rankings for bowlers, Mohammed Siraj has toppled Shaheen Afridi to regain the numero uno position. India spinner Kuldeep Yadav has jumped three places to fourth. Pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami have broke into the top four. Bumrah is up by three spots at eighth, while Shami has leapfrogged seven places to grab the 10th spot.

South Africa's Keshav Maharaj and Australia's Ada Zampa are placed second and third respectively. Shaheen Afridi has dropped to fifth spot. Josh Hazlewood is sixth and Rashid Khan is seventh in the latest ODI rankings for bowlers.

The leading wicket-taker at the World Cup 2023 - Sri Lanka pacer Dilshan Madushanka - has jumped 31 places to 45th, while India left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja (up eight places to 19th) and South Africa left-armer Marco Jansen (up nine spots to equal 24th) are other big gainers.

Further, Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan remains the No.1 ranked all-rounder despite an early exit at the World Cup due to injury, with Australia veteran Glenn Maxwell improving two spots to sixth after his match-winning heroics against Afghanistan in Mumbai on Tuesday.
