Gill back atop ODI batting chart; Sooryavanshi leaps to 48th in T20I list

The International Cricket Council announced the adjustments in its player rankings, recording the changes in both 50-over and T20 international batting lists. Gill’s return to the summit of the ODI batting standings was directly linked to Daryl Mitchell not being included, according to the ICC. Meanwhile, the T20I chart shows a marked upward movement for Sooryavanshi, whose rise of 230 spots placed him at number 48. The governing body provided the updated positions as part of its regular rankings maintenance.
