DUBAI (Dunya News) – Pakistan skipper Babar Azam continued to hold top spot in men's ODI batting rankings released by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday.
The right-armed batter retained the position despite his unimpressive performance in first two matches of the ongoing World Cup 2023 against the Netherlands and Sri Lanka.
Indian batsman Shubman Gill was close in on dethroning him but the fortune had some other plans as he could not take part in India’s matches due to illness.
Babar Azam is at the No1 slot with 835 points while Gill is standing at second spot with 830 points. Virat Kohli has improved one spot to secure seventh position with 715 points.
Australian bowler Josh Hazlewood also retained the top position in ODI bowling rankings followed by India’s Mohammad Siraj and Trent Boult at second and third spot, respectively.
