In ICC Men’s ODI rankings issued on September 13, Shubman Gill achievs a career-best second position; Rohit Sharma (9th) and the peerless Virat Kohli (8th) also feature in top 10
Opener Shubman Gill has achieved a career-best second position and is the highest-ranked among three Indian batters, who are now in the top 10 of the ICC Men's ODI rankings issued on Wednesday.
The other two Indians in the top-10 are skipper Rohit Sharma (9th) and the peerless Virat Kohli (8th).
Last time, three Indian batters were in ODI's top-10 list, it was way back in January, 2019.
At that time, Rohit, Kohli and out-of-favour veteran Shikhar Dhawan were the three batters.
Gill, who had scored 58 and figured in a 121-run opening partnership with Rohit Sharma in the Asia Cup match against Pakistan, has moved up one spot while Indian skipper and Kohli have gained two places each in the latest chart released by the global cricket body.
Rohit has scored three successive half-centuries so far in the ongoing Asia Cup, while Kohli advanced thanks to his unbeaten 122 against Pakistan.
Pakistan also have three batters in the top-10 with less than a month to go for the start of the ICC men's ODI World Cup.
