Indian cricketers Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj make history in the ICC Rankings; Babar Azam is dethroned as the No. 1 batter
The young batsman of Indian cricket team Shubman Gill's excellent run in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has earned him the top-batter's spot in the ICC ODI Rankings for men. On the other side, his teammate Mohammed Siraj, on the other hand, has taken the No. 1 spot in the ODI Rankings for bowlers. Gill claimed the number one spot by dislodging the captain of Pakistan, Babar Azam, off the perch. Gill is now only the fourth player from his country to hold the No. 1 ODI batter position, joining the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli. Siraj took the top spot in the standings for bowlers courtesy of his stupendous performances in the last couple of matches for India in the World Cup.
India, who are unbeaten in the 2023 World Cup after eight games, are dominant when it comes to ICC rankings. While Gill and Siraj are the top-ranked players in ODIs, there are others ruling the charts in different formats too.
