Shubman Gill ends Babar Azam's unchallenged supremacy in ICC ODI Player Rankings
India TV NewsIndia's young batting sensation Shubman Gill has done what no other batter was able to achieve in almost three years of ODI cricket as the Fazilka-born dethroned Babar Azam of Pakistan to claim the top spot in the ICC ODI Batting Rankings on Wednesday, November 8. The 24-year-old India opener displayed some outstanding form in the game against Sri Lanka on November 2 while playing at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and contributed to India's biggest win in the ongoing World Cup. Rated among the best batters on display in the ongoing World Cup, Babar has not quite lived up to the hype and has amassed 282 runs in eight games at a decent average of 40.28 with the help of four half-centuries. On the other hand, Mohammed Siraj has reclaimed the top spot in the ODI bowling rankings by virtue of his excellent display in the game against Sri Lanka.
