ICC ODI Rankings: Ex-India skipper Rohit Sharma scripted history as he became the oldest Indian batter to have become the world No.1 ODI batter. Hailing from Mumbai, Rohit climbed to two spots to become the No.1 ODI batter for the first time. He has surpassed India skipper Shubman Gill to claim this position.
Rohit, who has scored 745 rating points under his tally last week, scored a gritty knock of 73 runs off 97 balls in the second ODI against Australia and scored a match-winning knock of 121 runs off 125 balls in the last ODI in Sydney. These performances helped him score important points.
Rohit, who led the team from the front in the summit clash of the 2023 ODI World Cup, has become the fifth Indian after Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Gill to be the No.1 ODI batter.
