Rohit Sharma Climbs To Number One Spot In ODI Rankings

Mumbai, October 29 (TNA) Rohit Sharma has achieved a historic milestone by topping the ICC ODI batting rankings for the first time in his illustrious career. The veteran Indian opener, aged 38, climbed to No. 1 following a stellar performance in the recently concluded three-match ODI series against Australia, where he scored 202 runs, including a match-winning century in Sydney and a solid 73 at Adelaide.

This landmark makes Rohit one of the oldest batters ever to reach the top spot in ICC ODI history, overtaking his teammate Shubman Gill who slipped to third position after a lean series, while Afghanistan’s Ibrahim Zadran now occupies second place. Rohit’s latest rating point tally stands at 781, reflecting a jump of 36 points thanks to his consistent run-scoring and leadership at the top of the order.

With this feat, Rohit joins the elite list of Indian cricketers who have held the world No. 1 ODI ranking, following legends like Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill. As retirement talks swirl, Rohit Sharma’s accomplishment sets a new benchmark, underscoring his enduring class and impact on world cricket.
