Captain Rohit Sharma maintains his No. 2 spot with a rating of 765, standing just behind Pakistan’s Babar Azam. Rohit’s ability to anchor long innings remains a key element of his gameplay, providing India a solid foundation. Known for his six-hitting prowess, his career-best rating of 882, achieved during the 2019 World Cup against Sri Lanka, still resonates with fans. His recent stability and form ensure his position remains unchanged.
Shubman Gill’s rise as one of the most exciting young players has seen him firmly hold third place with a rating of 763. The young opener, who achieved a career-high rating of 847 in 2023 against Australia, has retained his place in the rankings this week. Known for his technical finesse and composure, Gill’s consistent performances keep him in the upper echelon of international ODI cricket.
Virat Kohli remains steady at fourth with a rating of 746. Although he no longer captains the side, his influence and consistency make him a vital figure in India’s ODI setup. While he is not at his career-high of 909, achieved in 2018, Kohli’s recent performance has kept him secure at fourth, highlighting his adaptability and precision.
Shreyas Iyer has made a notable leap from 14th to 13th place this week, reflecting his recent contributions to India’s middle order. Now rated at 658, Iyer’s adaptability has solidified his place as a stabilizer for India, especially in pressure situations. His highest rating of 710 against New Zealand in 2023 demonstrates his potential to break into the top 10 with continued performances.
While KL Rahul held steady at 18th position with a rating of 644, he remains an essential player for India. His experience in middle-order situations has made him a consistent performer. His career-high of 674 was achieved against South Africa in 2023, and as he continues to play crucial roles in India’s lineup, Rahul could look to break into the top 15 with sustained performances.
Both Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya have seen some minor shifts. Ishan has dropped slightly from 56th to 57th place, with his rating now at 519. Known for his aggressive stroke play, his career-best rating of 625 in 2023 against Sri Lanka still highlights his potential. Hardik Pandya, meanwhile, has climbed from 96th to 94th with a rating of 425, underscoring his all-round abilities and powerful hitting.
