Shubman Gill named ICC No.1 ODI batter; Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma remain in top five

Shubman Gill has been elevated to the No.1 position in the ICC ODI batting rankings, with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma also appearing inside the top five. Gill’s strong displays in the recent ODI series against England were central to his rise up the table.

The standings update was published on 2026-07-29T08:56:21.0000000Z and records Gill as the leading batter in the format. The change reflects recent international one-day results and the performances that shaped the latest list of top-ranked players.

Shubman Gill’s place at the summit follows the run of form he produced during the England ODI series. That sequence of innings is cited as the primary factor behind his climb to the top slot in the ICC’s latest compilation.

Alongside Gill, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are named among the top five batters in the updated ODI rankings. Their inclusion maintains the presence of established Indian batters near the head of the list.

The updated ranking table, issued in the July 29, 2026 release, captures the immediate effects of recent fixtures on the ODI batting order. It sets out the current pecking order among international batters without altering any of the documented names now occupying the leading positions.

By moving to No.1, Gill joins the elite group at the top of the ODI batting rankings, while Kohli and Rohit continue to occupy places inside the top five. The published update formalizes those positions in the ICC’s most recent assessment of ODI batters.
