Root returns to ODI top 10 as Rohit closes in on top three
Root has re-entered the top ten of the men's ODI batting rankings in the latest update dated July 22, 2026. Rohit has drawn closer to a place among the top three, while Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli remain second and third, behind No. 1 Daryl Mitchell.
The July 22, 2026 revision of the men's ODI batting standings produced the shifts. That update moved Root back inside the top ten and left Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli occupying the second and third positions, respectively, with Daryl Mitchell at the summit. Rohit's progress toward the top three was also recorded in this cycle.
Root's return to the top-ten bracket is a notable change recorded in the July 22 list. The update explicitly places him again among the highest-ranked ODI batters, according to the published standings. No further numerical detail on his exact position within the top ten was given in the brief announcement.
Rohit's nearer approach to the top three appears in the same ranking release. The statement of the update indicates he has closed the gap toward those upper positions. The exact margin separating him from the third-ranked spot was not specified in the published summary.
Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli are listed in the second and third slots in the updated table, maintaining their places from the previous published positions. The rankings note that both remain directly behind the player occupying the top position. Daryl Mitchell is recorded as No. 1 in the July 22, 2026 update.
The published revision records these movements without providing additional statistical breakdowns in the brief notice. The focus of this release is the placement of leading names in the men’s ODI batting order for that date. The update highlights the relative positions at the top of the list rather than supplying comprehensive point totals.
The July 22, 2026 standings therefore confirm Daryl Mitchell at No. 1, show Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli in second and third, mark Root's return to the top ten, and note Rohit's advance toward a top-three berth. These are the changes conveyed in the latest published ranking update.
