ICC rankings: Gill reduces gap with top-ranked Babar; Kohli rises then falls despite chasing masterclasses

by Wisden Staff 2 minute read

Shubman Gill inched closer to Babar Azam in the latest ICC ODI batting rankings among other stars at the World Cup 2023, while Virat Kohli has dropped by two places despite two excellent performances while chasing targets.

Babar Azam slumped to 829 points after amassing 157 across five matches in the World Cup 2023, but still held on to the top spot. Closing in on him is Shubman Gill, who shot to 823 points on the back of his 53 against Bangladesh in Pune.

Meanwhile, the in-form Quinton de Kock jumped three spots to third place with 769 points thanks to his three centuries in the ongoing World Cup.

His teammate Heinrich Klaasen gained four spots and moved from seventh to third with a career-high rating of 756. He has 288 runs from five matches in the World Cup 2023 while averaging 57.60 and striking at 151. No other player has racked up that many runs at such a high strike rate.

Kohli jumped from eighth to third after scoring a match-winning 95 against New Zealand, but slipped two places later as both de Kock and Klaasen leapfrogged him. Kohli now shares the fifth position with David Warner.

In the bowling rankings, Josh Hazlewood maintains a narrow lead at the top with 670 points, but Mohammed Siraj (668) is closing up on him. Siraj has taken six wickets from five games in the World Cup 2023.

Keshav Maharaj accumulated a career-best rating of 656 points to seal the third spot. Mohammad Nabi (up four places to sixth) and Adam Zampa (up four places to seventh) were some other bowlers who made significant movements in the top ten.

Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan continues to rule the numero uno position in the all-rounders’ rankings.
