• Babar Azam maintains his top rank in the ICC Men’s ODI Player Ranking.
• Virat Kohli has moved up two spots to fourth overall with 750 points.
• Shubman Gill, Siraj, and Kuldeep Yadav have all seen increases in rankings.

Following the conclusion of the home series against New Zealand, Pakistan captain Babar Azam has maintained his top rank in the International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s ODI Player Ranking with 887 points remaining.

Mohammad Nawaz, an all-rounder, moved up 12 spots to number 28 on the list of bowlers after taking six wickets in the just-completed ODI series against the Kiwis.

Virat Kohli, the standout batsman for India, has raised his ICC Men’s ODI Player Ranking as a result of his outstanding recent performance.

During India’s recent ODI series victory against Sri Lanka, Kohli scored two hundred and amassed an astounding 283 runs in just three innings.

On the most recent list of ODI batters, the former Indian skipper has moved up two spots to fourth overall with 750 points.

Rassie van der Dussen (766) and Quinton de Kock (759) of South Africa are now in second and third place, respectively.

After strong performances against Sri Lanka, Shubman Gill, Mohammed Siraj, and Kuldeep Yadav have all seen increases in their rankings.

“Gill hit a century and a fifty during the series and his 207 runs at an average of 69 helped the opener improve 10 spots to 26th overall on the rankings for ODI batters,” the ICC said in a press release.

“But it is perhaps Siraj that makes the most eye-catching move, with the 28-year-old jumping a massive 15 spots to third on the list for ODI bowlers following his nine wickets for the series.

“No bowler picked up more wickets during that series and Siraj improves to a career-best rating of 685 points to close in on pacesetters Trent Boult (730) and Josh Hazlewood (727).

“Kuldeep was also rewarded for his five wickets from just two matches against Sri Lanka, with the left-armer jumping seven places to 21st on the latest bowler rankings.”
